Manchester Road Race Benefits Home Repair Nonprofits

0:00The 90th Manchester Road Race hits the streets on Thanksgiving Day, and this year, it's channeling big bucks to two key nonprofits fixing up homes. For folks in need, rebuilding together of Manchester and Habitat for Humanity of North Central Connecticut snagged a lion's share of unallocated proceeds from the race, presented by Hartford HealthCare. Officials drop the news now to tie into National Rebuilding Day on April 25, when race committee members join hundreds of volunteers for home repair projects right in Manchester. Leaders are pumped about the partnership, saying every runner who signs up directly fuels these group's missions to repair and build safe housing, boosting community health from the ground up. On top of that, rebuilding together gets all the cash from the Honest Club program, where runners pay $100 each for special bibs. Instead of the usual fee, last year, the race donated $150,000 to fight food insecurity through other local charities. The event draws top-distance runners on its classic course
