Run/Walk in Gig Harbor supports Burma war victims
Gig Harbor High School senior Kate Stuart has organized a 5k run/walk to provide medical and humanitarian support to those displaced by war in Burma. The event will begin at the Chapel Hill Church parking lot in Gig Harbor, WA. Race begins at 9am on Saturday, March 29th, with day of race registration running from 8-8:45am.
Kate (who will be running track and cross country at my Alma mater Westmont College next year!) is putting on this event as part of her senior project at Gig Harbor High. In addition to the 5k running race or walk for the adults, there will be a kids’ dash for kids age 5 and under.
This is a great chance to participate in the Gig Harbor community, support a local high school student, and reach out and provide some charitable relief to those in need. Whether you’re a recreational jogger who plods along the Gig Harbor waterfront, or a competitive runner who tears up the McCormick Park trails, or just a Gig Harbor resident or visiting Gig Harbor and just want to go for a walk, this will be a great event for you.
Entry fee ranges from $5-$18 depending on your age and t-shirt availability. Visit Chapel Hill’s website to register, or show up at the Chapel Hill parking lot Saturday morning to register day of race.
