Runners and walkers of all ages will lace up their sneakers for the 4th annual Marian House Race to Embrace Independence 5K and One-Mile Family Fun Run on Saturday, September 29, 2012. The Race to Embrace Independence raises critical funds for Marian House, an independent non-profit located in the Better Waverly neighborhood of Baltimore City that works to provide housing and comprehensive support services to women who are homeless and/or suffering from addiction. Marian House strives to support women moving from
dependence to independence.
This year’s event will feature something for everyone. In addition to the 5K race and one-mile family fun run, participants and their supports will be able to enjoy the race village that will feature food, entertainment and activities for the entire family.
Registration for the race begins at 8:00 am and both events start at 9:00 am. The first 600 people to register receive a Marian House 5K tech shirt and a cinch bag. Children will receive a t-shirt. On-site registration will be available, however, interested participants are encouraged to pre-register at www.marianhouse.org/5k.
For those individuals who are not early risers and still want to support Marian House, they can become a Pajama Pledger: sleep in and still support a great cause and receive a tech shirt.
