EASTHAMPTON, GALBRAITH FIELD:  Approximately 250 people participated in the sixth annual Run/Walk for Tara to benefit eating disorder programs on Saturday, November 11, the birthday of Tara Sheehan, a Southampton resident and runner who died of anorexia in 2002. Walkers and runners enjoyed the cross country 3.1 mile course on a crisp and sunny 45 degree day. Members of the Sheehan family welcomed the runners and walkers, thanking them for coming out to celebrate Tara’s birthday and to raise funds to support eating disorder programs.  Well-known local runner Nancy Conz served as this year’s race coordinator, working with Janet Brown, Virginia Ahart and their team of 35 volunteers.
