The event has been canceled for 2021. We look forward to racing with you in 2022. Thank you!
THIS IS A 5K FUN RUN/WALK THAT MY FAMILY AND I CREATED TO HONOR OUR MOTHER AND STEPFATHER, KENT & MARY BEITTEL.
TOGETHER, THEY STARTED AND RAN, THE OPEN SHELTER IN COLUMBUS, FOR 30 YEARS.
ALL PROCEEDS FROM THIS RACE WILL GO TO THE "DO NO HARM" PROGRAM, A PART OF THE OPEN SHELTER, TO BENEFIT SINGLE PARENTS THAT ARE EITHER HOMELESS OR MARGINALLY HOUSED, THAT NEED A HELPING HAND, BUT NOT A HAND-OUT.
[more information about the open shelter]
MARY & KENT WERE BOTH SINGLE PARENTS THAT WENT THROUGH HARDSHIPS WHILE RAISING THEIR CHILDREN. THIS IS OUR WAY OF HONORING OUR PARENTS, WHILE CONTINUING THEIR LEGACY, OF WORKING WITH THOSE LEFT BEHIND AT THE OPEN SHELTER.
THE BUCKEYE LAKE WINERY IN THORNVILLE WILL BE OUR HOST LOCATION THIS YEAR!
THEY ARE PROVIDING A HEALTHY SNACK PLATE AFTER THE RUN, AND WILL ALSO HAVE A LIMITED FOOD & DRINK MENU FOR PURCHASE FOR ALL PARTICIPANTS BEFORE, AND AFTER THE RUN.
AND BECAUSE MARY & KENT ENJOYED SIPPING THEIR BLACK VELVET AND BOX WINE WHILE RELAXING, WE ARE SELLING RAFFLE TICKETS FOR:
* BOTTLE OF WINE (DONATED by The Buckeye Lake Winery)
* BOTTLE OF KENTUCKY BOURBON
Raffle Tickets will be $5 each OR 5 / $20
