Sanger Sea Stretcher Marathon May 26th

The Peter D. Sanger Memorial
Sea Stretcher Marathon
Sunday, May 26, 2024

Registration begins at 8:00 at the Firehouse
Race begins at 9:00 AM

There will be a trophy presentation at the conclusion of the event. 
Unless requested otherwise, the names of the first place finishers in each event will be published on FishersIsland.net and Fog Horn.

This annual marathon raises much-needed and appreciated funds to support the
FI Fire Department’s M/V Sea Stretcher.
This boat fitted out as a seagoing ambulance, is a critically important lifeline for the Fishers Island community to the medical resources available at L&M Hospital and others on the mainland. It is operated by FIFD volunteer captains and navigators along with the EMTs.

There will be no pre-registration. Be sure you arrive in time to register and get to the starting point for your class by 9:00! Limited transportation to the starting points will be available.

As soon as you have your registration form, decide the Class you wish to enter:

1A: 1 mile for runners aged 12 or younger (starts at the Library)
1B: 1 mile for runners over age 12 (starts at the library)
3: 3 miles (all ages) (starts near “Four Corners”)
5: 5 miles (all ages) (starts on Main Road @ Top of the World Road)
8: 8 miles (starts at the “Castle” gate)

Due to safety concerns, no roller blades or bicycles can be permitted.

Be sure you know your race’s route. Maps will be available at each starting point prior to the start.

The purpose of this event is to provide safe, friendly exercise for as many people as possible while raising funds to help maintain and operate our ambulance boat, Sea Stretcher. No entry fees are charged, so please obtain as many sponsors as possible.

Because of the billing costs, the minimum total amount for each sponsor is $5.00. You must PRINT the exact and complete NAME and MAILING ADDRESS for each of your sponsors.  You will not be required to collect from any of your sponsors; they will be billed soon after the marathon is completed.  The Fishers Island Fire Department is a 501(c)(3) entity and as such, all contributions qualify as tax-deductible. No service or product will be given as a result of donations.
