Don’t let the pandemic slow you down! Everyone can still get on board CHR’s annual Steam Train Half Marathon and Relay. This year, it will be virtual and proceeds will benefit Community Health Resources (CHR), an essential behavioral healthcare provider that has been here for the community throughout the COVID-19 crisis, providing life-saving mental health and addiction services. In addition, a portion of the registration proceeds will also benefit two Essex and Deep River charities: Bikes for Kids and The Deep River Public Library, in honor of the Steam Train Half Marathon and Relay’s home-towns.
