NASHUA, NH — Easterseals New Hampshire is offering a chance for local residents to participate in a race, raise money for a good cause and observe September 11.

The Veterans Count Nashua 5K Fun Run & Walk takes place at 9 a.m. on Sept. 11 and starts at Stellos Stadium, 7 Stadium Drive. The money raised will benefit Easterseals NH's Veterans Count programs, which assist veterans, active service members and their families.
