Are you the type who likes to stay in shape and live an active lifestyle? If you’re in Cambridge this weekend, don’t miss out on one event that gives you the opportunity to lace up your running shoes and work up a sweat.

The 24^th annual Cambridge Times Rotary Run kicks off on the 23^rd of May, Sunday, at the Dickson Arena, at exactly 9 in the morning. Already, residents and fitness buffs in the City of Cambridge are excited about the event – and the fact that the race is for a good cause doesn’t hurt either.

There are two races this Sunday; the first a 2.5k race that kicks off at 10:30 in the morning, and a 5k race that begins at 11 in the morning. Registration is pegged at $20 for the 2.5k race, and $25 for the 5k race.

All proceeds gathered at the Rotary Run will be donated to the KidsAbillity Foundation, a charity program based in Cambridge that helps children with special needs.

According to Cambridge North Rotary Club chairman Larry Olney, over 400 runners join the run each year. For 2010, he hopes that number will increase and reach at least 500.

And if that’s not interesting enough, Wayne Gretzky is also set to make an appearance at the race.
