Shirley Schriftman loved animals. She also loved watching two of her sons Ross and Lee run races. As I small child, she used to watch the Boston Marathon while sitting on her Father’s shoulders at Coolidge Corner 2 miles from the finish line and a half mile from her home. Her stories inspired Ross to start running marathons. Shirley’s last BAA Marathon was in 2005 watching Ross compete. It was her last trip to her home town before she developed Alzheimer’s disease.

In her memory Shirley’s Run raises funds for the Shirley Schriftman Fund for Animals; a donor advised fund at the Montgomery County Foundation.
www.mcfoundationinc.org. The fund supports animal rescue and animal training organizations in the Montgomery County area.

The 5K Course is a fast one with a nice down hill toward the end. It is an out and back course through neighborhood roads in Maple Glen. (See the course map on the website)

Meet Happy Girl, Shirley’s Katrina Rescue Dog. Visit our sponsors and the local charities that will be at the event. There may also be an opportunity for you to adopt an animal.
