The Owego Rotary May 2024 100K Care Challenge has been completed. The event was a challenge to walk or run 100K (62 miles) in the month of May, National Walking Month.

Sixty-three people took up the challenge, and 35 people completed 100K. The care component came from the event’s sponsor, Tioga State Bank, who generously offered a donation of $25 to Tioga County Food Pantries for each participant that completed the 100K, totaling an $880 donation to local food pantries.
