Kerry Gaubault, the organization's vice president. "Our goal is to have at least 30 teams participating in this event and raise about $3,500 for the Fisher House," Sergeant Gaubault said. "You can participate by either forming a team of runners and/or walkers, monetary pledges for teams or by coming out to cheer on the teams. "We encourage teams to set up a team area consisting of tents and chairs," she continued. "An area will be provided for grilling. This is a family event -- strollers are allowed on the track, and a bouncy house will be on hand for children." A team must consist of eight to 12 walkers. One team representative must be on the track throughout the 12-hour event. Each team must have a baton for its walkers or runners to carry while on the track. Registration is $100 per team. Entry packages are available at all base fitness centers.
