NORWICH – The Chenango County Council of the Arts will be holding its seventh annual Allegro Run for the Arts this weekend, and with current weather forecasts predicting a mild, warm day,organizers hope they will see even more people taking part in the event this year.

The Allegro Run for the Arts is a fund raising event to support the programs offered at the Council of the Arts, including both performances and gallery shows held throughout the year. Registration is $15 per person up to the day of the race, and $20 per person on Saturday.

This year the CCCA will also offer a discounted registration fee for those 18 and under. Runners 18 and under can register in advance or on race day for $10.

Last year approximately 60 people participated in the race. “We’re trying to encourage more families and younger people to get involved,” said Arts Council Director Victoria Kappel.
