As many as 10,000 runners and walkers are expected to take to the streets of Worcester on June 4th, when the first Worcester Firefighters Memorial 6K will take place. The unusual distance was selected to honor the courage and lives of the six firefighters who perished in a warehouse blaze on December 6, 1999. CMS is coordinating with the Worcester Fire Department to provide logistical support for the event, which comprises a mostly flat, figure-eight course beginning and finishing at Institute Park on Salisbury Street. For additional information, call John Franco at (508) 853-1008, e-mail cmsrun@hotmail.com , or visit the CMS Web site at www.cmsrun.org and look under SCHEDULE for links to the Firefighter information.
