The 2010 S.H.O.R.E 5k Run/2 Mile Walk, through the beautiful New England coastal town of Scituate, MA, is sure to be a great event drawing hundreds of participants. Proceeds from the race are to benefit Scituate High School’s Opportunities for Resources and Education (SHORE) foundation. S.H.O.R.E was established in 1990 when budget cuts threatened the quality of education.
