SHERBURNE - Friends of Rogers have announced early bird registration for the first ‘Wild Goose Chase,’ a 5K run/walk along the trails of Rogers Center off of route 80 in Sherburne.

The ‘Wild Goose Chase’ will take place on September 17 at 10 a.m. and the event is sponsored by New York Central Mutual. Friends of Rogers say that the unique event will feature well-groomed trails with a beautiful and scenic view of the surrounding valley.

“We are extremely grateful to New York Central Mutual for partnering with us,” said Simon Solomon, executive director. “Since 2011, when Friends of Rogers saved Rogers Environmental Education Center from closing, we have relied on the generosity of local businesses like NYCM to support community activities, allowing this vital resource to be preserved­–and flourish. Offering new programs like this means the fulfillment of our mission in a dynamic way.”
