The weekend “kicks off” on Saturday, June 7th, with the 2nd Annual Crowley Brothers' Annual Sport and Fitness Expo (10-4p.m) to be held at the Rutland Middle School Keefe Gym on Library Avenue. Sunday's main event of the 10K race also includes the 10K relay, the 2nd Annual 5K race, and 5K walk, and 5K Corporate Challenge Walk.
