Hamilton College had another strong turn-out for America's Greatest Heart Run and Walk, held this year on Saturday, March 6, at Utica College. Team Hamilton pre-registered more than 80 runners and walkers for the annual event. These volunteers joined a record 8,740 participants in walking and running between three and five miles. The Heart Run and Walk raises money and awareness for the American Heart Association and its fight against heart disease and stroke. Hamilton has fielded a team for many years. Participants included athletic teams, student organizations, Hamilton staff and faculty.
Although the pledges and donations are still being counted, Colleen Pellman, one of Hamilton’s team captains, estimated that Team Hamilton raised around $6000 for the American Heart Association.
