(Chelsea Update would like to thank Stephanie Jacque for the information in this story.)
The traffic control and road closings have been approved by the Chelsea Police Department so on Saturday, May 10, it’s time for celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Chelsea Heart and Soul Race, which includes bicyclists, runners and walkers.
And, to mark this special anniversary, race organizers are looking for community members who have participated in all or most of the previous 24 races.
Organizers want to hear about your experiences in the Heart and Sole race over the years, changes that you have witnessed over this time, and display memorabilia you have held onto from previous races.
This memorabilia will be used as a way to represent the past 24 years, and the progress that has been made. Organizers are looking for T-shirts, awards, flyers, maps or anything else that you may have preserved.
There are many volunteer opportunities open for community members who have participated in previous races but may not be able to run, walk or ride in this year’s race. Volunteers can get involved by helping with the setup of the race, organization during different events, and other various tasks. Volunteers will also receive a free t-shirt, just for helping.
For those interested in volunteering or participating in these 25th anniversary events, please contact Emily Stewart at [email protected] or Kelli Saunders at [email protected].
Registration for the race is open through Wednesday, May 7 at 11 p.m. , but be sure to sign up early to ensure you get your free t-shirt and bag.
