Flyer, information
and entry form for the Easter 5K Run to the Cross April 19, 2014 at Taylorsville
United Methodist Church
According to information from the Taylorsville United
Methodist Church website, the first ever ‘Run to the Cross’ will take place
this Saturday in Taylorsville, Carroll County, Maryland.
If you are looking to get outside after a long-cold winter
of being cooped-up inside, this is a great family event for everyone to enjoy –
and celebrate spring and Easter. And oh, was it mentioned that there will also
be great food available - pulled pork sandwiches. And all the proceeds go to
several good causes…
The 5 K run will go from South Carroll High School to
Taylorsville United Methodist Church on Saturday, April 19, 2014 at 10:00 a.m. (TUMC).
(You can run this or walk this 5 K.)
This 5 K run will travel west on Route 26, cross Route 27
(with State Police help) and travel south on Route 27 to TUMC.
At the end of the race enjoy live music, pulled pork
sandwiches (free for runners) and the final awards ceremony.
This run is a joint venture brought to you by TUMC and
SCHS’s Fellowship of Christian Athletes. (FCA)
Proceeds will be given to both the
FCA
and the
No More Malaria Campaign.
(Every 60 seconds a child dies in Africa of Malaria. This campaign has already
cut that number in half, we want to stop deaths from malaria.) Your entry fee
will be tax deductible.
There are two ways to register: One is to download the run
entry form, fill it out, and mail it back to TUMC along with a check. Please
register by April 6th. The registration fee is $10 for students; $15 for SCHS
Alum; and $20 for adults.
The second way to register is to click below. Make sure you
have a credit card ready and you can register totally on line.
Note there is a 2-4 dollar increase to offset on-line costs.
