If you are looking for an event that is a little different from the usual then mark this Sunday July 25 at 10:30am on your calendar and don?t be late for the Sarcoma Step & fetch sponsored by JB Printing Trenton. You will take part in a unique event to help raise public awareness of sarcoma as part of International Sarcoma Awareness Week. Shops throughout downtown Trenton will be set up with tables to hand out ?Fact Cards.? People will walk through Trenton in groups collecting fact cards to bring back to JB Printing at 12 Carrying Place Road. Once back at JB Printing, people can write their name on the fact cards and hand them in for a chance to win door prizes.
At the end of the walk there will be a BBQ gathering where there will be small give-aways, and donations will be accepted for burgers and hot dogs. This event is for all ages and will take place rain or shine. Registration is free! For more information contact JB Printing in Trenton or go to

Another event to look at is ?So you Think You Can Run Fast 4 & 8K? on Sunday August 14 from Tri & Run Sports. This race is a true handicap event in that it measures your fitness level based on your age, sex and weight, so while you may be the first over the finish line, you may not be the FASTEST. How does it work? At registration you will be confidentially weighed in your running gear. Then your weight, your age and your sex combined with your finishing time will be computed to determine your new adjusted finish time. As an example a 57 year old woman weighing 150lbs finishes a 5k in 29:41. With her adjusted times for weight, age and sex, she will actually finish in 22:07. So how fast can you run a 4 or 8K if your age, sex and weight were factored in? You might be a whole lot faster than you thought! All awards will be based on your adjusted finishing times.
