Please join us on Saturday, June 7th in Shoreham for the Inaugural Michelle Bonura Memorial 5K Run/Walk, a multi sport athlete who passed away while completing a training run on January 10th.
Michelle was a 72 year old gifted tri-athlete who was defined by her commitment to physical fitness and by her coaching and inspiring of athletes of all ages. She was a multi talented athlete who excelled in running, swimming, cycling, golfing, skiing, dancing, and bowling. She served as a physical education teacher in the Sachem School District and volunteered at several local sporting events including the Shoreham-Wading River Track Team, the Lightning Warriors, and the Wildwood Warriors.
One of Michelle's signature races was the SWR 5K which she ran with her two sons and friends for many years on both July 4th and Thanksgiving. And to honor her memory, this inaugural race will follow her same footsteps of that 5K course that Michelle loved running so much.
