Run/Walk & WIN

for YOUR Charity of Choice!

“Dear friend, I pray that you may enjoy good health and that all may go well with you, even as your soul is getting along well.” – 3 John 1:2

3 John 1:2 reminds us of God’s desire for our complete well-being. Written by “the Elder” (John) to his friend Gaius, this verse shows how the early church valued both physical and spiritual health.

In this greeting, John prays for Gaius’s physical health to match his spiritual vitality. What a beautiful reminder that God cares for our whole being – body, mind, and spirit.

As we prepare for our 5K Charity Event, let’s embrace this holistic view of wellness that has been part of our faith from the beginning.

HOW IT WORKS

#1 Win by - Group Participation Award

The three charities with the most number of runner and walker participants listing them as their “Charity of Choice” will receive a share of the 5K Oktoberfest Charity Run/Walk proceeds.*

1st Place – 25% of proceeds

2nd Place – 12.5% of proceeds

3rd Place – 7.5% of proceeds

#2 Win by - Random Drawing Award

All runner and walker participants listing a “Charity of Choice” on their registration form will participate in a random drawing. If your name is drawn your charity will participate in a share of the 5K Oktoberfest Charity Run/Walk proceeds.*

5% of proceeds

*Please Note

The Group Participation Awards and the Random Drawing Award will be announced at the awards ceremony immediately following the race. Ideally, the goal of this race is to cover costs with registration fees and use generous sponsor gifts to support the various charities of choice. In this first year, there is no guarantee the registration fees will cover costs nor what the “proceeds” may yield for charitable impact. We believe with your help this 5K Oktoberfest Charity Run/Walk can be a success. Please invite your friends to run/walk for your charity of choice, or for their own, or for ours! Also, please consider being a sponsor. (See below on “Sponsorship Levels” and “Sponsorship Perks.”)

THE RUNNER OR WALKER IN YOU!

“Racing teaches us to challenge ourselves. It teaches us to push beyond where we thought we could go. It helps us to find out what we are made of. This is what we do. This is what it’s all about.”

Patti Sue Plumer, U.S. Olympian
“Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.”

Paul the Apostle
“You must do the thing you think you cannot do.”

Eleanor Roosevelt
“Hard things take time to do. Impossible things take a little longer.” “I find that the harder I work, the more luck I seem to have.”

Thomas Jefferson
“…but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.”

Isaiah the Prophet
“The will to win means nothing without the will to prepare.”

Juma Ikangaa, 1989 NYC Marathon winner
“In running, it doesn’t matter whether you come in first, in the middle of the pack, or last. You can say, ‘I have finished.’ There is a lot of satisfaction in that.”

Fred Lebow, New York City Marathon co-founder
