GUILFORD — Over 100 participants gathered at Friends of Community Fitness on Saturday, Oct. 14 to walk, run, or bike a 2-mile loop through the town of Guilford in the third annual Cycl-a-thon. In three hours, 336 loops were completed. The event raised over $33,000 in total and gave away over $800 worth of door prizes to participants. The funds raised for the non-profit organization are used to support keeping their rates low while continuing to improve the facility, programs and equipment for members.

Executive Director, Britney Gallagher says, “We have exciting plans for the facility this coming year  including adding a sauna, new cardio and pin select equipment as well as a new child watch program. We just opened our new group fitness studio. This is all a result of another successful fundraiser. We could not do it without all our volunteers, sponsors, donors, and participants. It truly takes support from everyone in the community to make this happen!”
