October 8 Sunday Run

[Sorry I missed last week!]

Since there were only three of us at today's run the options were limited for next week - we will meet again at the Coffee Tree where Elaine will lead us on a run through Squirrel Hill.

See you then!

Dear Running Friends,

Some of you participated in the Walk for Racial Harmony at the inaugural event last fall which took place on a gorgeous fall day. The second annual Walk for Racial Harmony will take place October 21, 2006. I am part of the group that is organizing this community event. Please participate if you can, and spread the word to anyone or any groups who you feel would be interested. We are hoping for a really good turn-out. The Masters of Ceremony and musical entertainment that will be part of the walk are shaping up really well. The email announcement of the walk (pasted below) has a weblink for the registration form. People can certainly register on the day of the walk by just showing up and paying the registration fee then, but advance registration is encouraged, and for obvious reasons, is required in order to have a T-shirt. This event is meant for all races, all genders and all ages. Please come!

Thanks, Paula

Purpose of the Event: To bring together people from every sphere of
life in greater Pittsburgh in an effort to promote racial harmony, and
create a time of community which encourages the formation of
relationships between people of different races and backgrounds.

What is the format of the event?

* On Saturday, October 21, hundreds of people, from all ages,
races and walks of life will gather at Schenley Park for a 5K Walk/1
Mile Fun Walk. The goal of the event is to bring together people and
groups who care about racial harmony. Immediately following the walk,
participants will gather at the oval in Schenley Park to celebrate.
This brief gathering will include entertainment and food.

* Participants will either pay a modest fee or raise a small
amount of pledges to enter the walk. Participants will have the
opportunity to enter the walk as a "group," and raise pledges for that
group. The groups raising the highest amounts of money will win prizes
(restaurant gift certificates, movie passes, tickets to sporting events, etc.)
