Help Kiwanis Keep 5K Runners Cool Tonight

With the heat index , Danvers Kiwanis is doing its part to make sure runners in tonight's stay safe. 

"Danvers Kiwanis are asking anyone on the route that may be home tonight between 6:30 and 8pm to think about putting an extra water stop in front of their house or ever have a hose handy that they can spray runners who want a cool off spray," Cheryl Marshall, Danvers Recreation program manager said.

The race route runs from  right up Cabot Rd., left on Locust Street, right at the lights onto Maple Street, right on Summer Street, to the end.  Right on North Street to right on Locust Street left on Donegal, under the underpass to left on Cabot back to DHS.

Runners are encouraged to be safe, drink lots of fluids during the day and walk if needed, Marshall said.
