Print | Email  

NORTH ADAMS, Mass. -- The annual Up Front  for DeMar 5K race and 1 mile walk and pasta dinner will be held Saturday and Sunday, Nov. 12 and 13.
 
These annual events raise money for the SPC Michael R DeMarsico II scholarship fund and to honor DeMarsico and all who serve and have served.
 
SPC DeMarsico was killed in action on Aug. 16, 2012, while serving in Afghanistan. "DeMar" to his fellow battle buddies, he served at the front of his battalion searching for IED's. The young specialist discovered 16, saving many men in his unit, before stepping on one.
 
In the days and weeks that followed Michael's death, his community came out in full support of him, his service, and his family. 
 
The pasta dinner, which is open to the community, not only gives runners a chance to get their packets and to carb load, but gives all a chance to join in fellowship and to celebrate his life. The dinner, held at the American Legion in North Adams, is 4 to 7 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 12. The race, will be held the following morning, starting at the Veterans Memorial in North Adams at 9 a.m. and ending at the American Legion.
 
People can register online at RaceWire.com or contact Eileen Monyahan at 413- 212–0445 or upfrontfordemar5k@gmail.com
 
Tickets for the dinner will be available at the door as well, and race day registration will be available at 7:30 AM at the starting line.
