Ahh, the warm weather, the shorter haircut (a springtime rite of passage), and now, the flier in the mail reminding me about the Nineteenth Annual Kenneth Dolan Memorial 5K Run.
This year's edition is June 1, at 10 a.m. in Prospect Park. The price is an affordable $15 beforehand, $20 on race day. Lot of prizes, including the first person to cross the finish line wearing a Farrell's T-Shirt (no word if you have to hoist a drink there beforehand).
And there's also a Pee Wee Run for different age groups, ranging from 100 to 440 yards.
For information, contact Louis Vazquez at 212-860-1899 x 101 or go to the Web site.
And who is Kenny Dolan? From the race application:
"Kenny Dolan was alive for a brief 23 years. Yet in that time, he not only brought a tremendous amount of joy to a great number of people, but more importantly, he taught them how to laugh, love and have fun. Tragically, on March 14, 1990, Kenny passed away as a result of an automobile accident. The Kenny Dolan Memorial Fund at Iona College has been established from this race to assist some student in need of financial support for his or her education. It is in this spirit that Kenny will be remembered."
Separately there is a Kenneth Dolan Memorial Fund Raiser on Wednesday, May 15 at 6:30 p.m. at Third & Long at 523 Third Ave. (corner of 35th St.) in New York. Donation is $20 a person.
