Run for Shelter plans under way
CHESTER Run 4 Shelter is fast approaching! This year, the popular race features a 5K and 10K along with the addition of a half marathon. Run 4 Shelter will occur on Saturday, Sept. 10. The race starts at the old outlets in Chester and takes place along the beautiful Cross Island Trail. The recipient of the proceeds raised from this event is the local, nonprofit organization Queen Anne's County Christian Assistance Inc. (QACCA). This group operates the only cold weather emergency shelter in the county. QACCA also serves the poor through the inclusion of a year round transitional housing program.
Run 4 Shelter is QACCA's largest fund raising activity with the anticipation of generating thousands of dollars for a worthwhile cause. Along with the race, the event will feature a large silent auction with theme baskets, restaurant gift cards, tricycle, vacation homes, novelties, and many other goodies.
"This event features something for everyone – athletes and shoppers alike!" said Krista Pettit, executive director of QACCA.
Pettit added, "With the addition of the half marathon, we expect the attendance to exceed 1,000 participants. This is a great run/ walk featuring the Chesapeake Bay! It's a fun way to support a good cause!"
