Somerville, MA - June 15, 2005 - On July 10, the Somerville Road
Runners will be hosting the 14th annual Summer Steamer road race, a
4.0-mile course beginning at Khoury's State Spa on Broadway and
winding through the streets of East Somerville. This year's race will be a
special day for the community, as three new events have been added. Somerville Mayor Joe Curtatone has graciously offered to be our guest
and victim in the Steamer's first annual dunk tank event. Test the political
waters by taking a shot at the mayor. This year's race will also feature a hot dog eating contest. Whether or
not you want to challenge Takeru Kobayashi's world record of 53 dogs
in 12 minutes, this is a great opportunity to experience the world of
competitive eating. Also, there will be a special 1/4-mile race for kids 11 years and under, to
be held before the main event. All participants in the kids' race must be
pre-registered. T-shirts will be given to all runners who pre-register. And don't forget the
post-race festivities, with entertainment by the IT Band, the club's very
own runners/musicians! Proceeds from all events will benefit St.
Benedict's Little Flower School. For a
Race Application/Register OnLine e-

year, including the Summer Steamer, that attract thousands of runners

of its members live, SRR donated more than $21,000 to various non-
