Have you heard?! The race is on!

We would like to invite everyone back again this year to the Race Against Poverty, going back to the roots of the event with its original name and tons of fun!

Race Against Poverty, presented by SeaComm, is a fun and exciting opportunity to support the community, exercise mind and body, and compete against other teams in an event loosely based on The Amazing Race TV show! Teams of two work together to solve clues leading them to businesses in and around Public Square, where they then complete challenges and race to the next stop!

This event highlights local businesses and organizations, encourages friendly competition, and makes a positive impact on the lives of our neighbors. Event proceeds benefit United Way of Northern New York’s Community Impact programs, which focus on addressing needs in Jefferson, Lewis, and St. Lawrence Counties. United, we touch the lives of more than 30,000 individuals across the North Country!

The event consists of the actual race portion, which begins at 10 AM and is expected to wrap up between 11:30 AM and 12 PM, and an after party to be held following the race at 210 Court St. in Watertown until about 1 PM. The after-party features food, music, chances to bid on silent auction items, and the opportunity to swap stories with other racers!

Grab your tickets today for a day of fun and philanthropy – with some healthy competition mixed in- all for a great cause!
