Please join us on
Saturday April 10, 2010 for the 2nd Annual Dan Ford 5
Mile Road Race and 5K Fun
Run/Walk.
On April 7,
2009, after a long, hard, tough, and brave fight, Dan
lost his battle with cancer. Dan was a
competitive person by nature. He was inducted into
the Methuen Hall of Fame in 1997 for his athletic
accomplishments while at Methuen High School from
1984 to 1988. Dan was one of the regions top running
backs. He scored 10 touchdowns as a junior and 6 as a
senior while being credited with back to back 1,000
yard seasons. The powerful Ford was also a top
quarter-miler on the track team. He was the Class B
runner up in both his junior and senior years (50.8
seconds). Dan was a powerful force on the hockey team
as well. Therefore, to honor the life of Danny
Ford, and to continue the fight against
cancer we will be holding this race every
year. All of the money raised from this event
will go towards athletic scholarships, and
aiding the victims of cancer. Please join
us for this 2nd annual event. The race will
begin and end at the Fireside Restaurant and Pub in
Methuen, MA. The race will be followed by an award
ceremony and an eventful post race
party!
