Moving with the Spirit 5K set for Saturday, August 18

News Staff Reports

Reg­is­tra­tion is now open for the Third Annual Mov­ing with the Spirit 5K Run/Walk. This year a per­cent­age of pro­ceeds will go towards Wounded War­riors, a national orga­ni­za­tion assist­ing sol­diers wounded in bat­tle and their fam­i­lies. As in the prior two years this race will also fund local projects include feed­ing, cloth­ing and help­ing the peo­ple of our community.

The Mov­ing with the Spirit 5K Run/Walk, sched­uled for Sat­ur­day, August 18, begins on Sun­bury Road, pro­ceeds through a gated com­mu­nity, and fin­ishes on Galena United Methodist Church grounds.

Mov­ing with the Spirit also includes Kids Races of vary­ing lengths for all chil­dren 11 and under, includ­ing a 1-mile run, mak­ing Mov­ing with Spirit truly a fam­ily event.

New this year is the Big Wal­nut Grand Prix. Sim­ply reg­is­ter and fin­ish each of the included races — Mov­ing with the Spirit, Run For John and Big Nut Strut — and you will auto­mat­i­cally be entered into a draw­ing to receive prizes such as Fron­trun­ner gift cer­tifi­cates, a round of golf at Bent Tree, Jerky from Virgil’s Jerky Plus, a year’s sub­scrip­tion to The Sun­bury News and more.

The Mov­ing with the Spirit reg­is­tra­tion fee is a mod­est $25 prior to race day for the 5k and $2 for the Kids Race.
