Hunt Valley, MD, October 18, 2013 --(PR.com)-- Long® Fence, one of the largest residential and commercial fencing contractors on the East Coast, is a diamond level sponsor of the 22nd annual Komen Maryland Race for the Cure® with their donation of temporary fencing to protect and separate pedestrian spectators and participants during the event on October 20, 2013 in Hunt Valley, Maryland.
Long® Fence barricades will be used to guide race participants to registration booths, close off streets, safely control crowds and define areas of special interest. Over 23,000 runners and walkers participated and over $1.4 million was raised in 2012 for the fight against breast cancer.
