Registration is open for the 2015 Run Over Hunger Charity Run/Walk, and the run registration fee will soon increase on October 1. This first year event will take place on Saturday, October 17, at 9:00 a.m. at Heartland Community Schools, and runners and walkers can participate in a 1 mile or 5k distance. Non-runners can also participate by making a donation and receiving an “I donut Run†t-shirt and a donut.
“We are excited to be creating this new event for the community,†said Kelsey Bergen, Henderson Chamber Director. “We are teaming up with the Heartland NHS to make this a run that benefits the people in need in the Henderson and Bradshaw communities through the monetary donations and food donations that runners are encouraged to bring to the race.â€
The mile and 5K run routes will start and end at the Heartland Schools circle drive and will strictly be run on pavement. Since this is a charity run, this run will not be timed and we welcome strollers, dogs (as long as they are on leashes) and participants of all ages and athletic abilities.Â
Runners, walkers, and donors can fill out the an online or mail-in registration form by visiting www.HendersonNE.com/Run-Over-Hunger or contacting the Henderson Chamber at (402) 723-4228. The last day to be guaranteed a t-shirt is October 7, so register early.
