Saturday March 26th please join us at Carrier Park on Amboy Rd. in Asheville for the first annual Carpenter's Heart 5k and fun run. Thanks to the wonderful support of our sponsors and volunteers we will be hosting this charity race to raise funds for the building of an orphanage in SanFrancisco Honduras. Money from this race will specifically go towards the cost of putting the foundation in place. Work began in mid-February.
We are registering runners and walkers online now @ www.carpentersheart.org and follow the race links. This will be open until Friday March 25th @ 5pm. You may also register on race day from 8-9:30am. Remember to register early to assure you get a race t-shirt and gift bag. Your $25 entry fee will pay for a days labor for a mason as well as buy 8 blocks.
This certified course is a great run for any and all ages. Race will begin at 9:45 with awards to follow as soon as scoring is complete. There will be medals awarded to the first through third place finisher in each of the 8 different age groups. There will also be a first overall for men and woman that will include a gift tour with Navitiat Canopy tours.
In addition to the 5k there will also be a fun run starting at 9am. The entry fee for this is $10 with online registration available at www.carpentersheart.org Online registration will close on Friday March 25th at 5pm. You may also register for this event from 8-8:50 on the day of the walk. We will award participation medals to children under 12 who take part in this walk(while supplies last).
In addition to the medals and gift bags we will be raffling off 4 prize packs each valued at over $100 dollars. Each person who enters either event will receive 4 tickets with extra's available for purchase at $1 each. Items in these prize packs include gift cards to Applebee's, Athens, Bellagio, Carmel's, Carrabbas, Cakes by Jane, Olive Garden, tickets to the Titanic Experience in Pigeon Forge, Cd's, Shirts, D-feet socks from Foot Rx, and much more.
Please come join us as we run for a reason. Help make the first annual Carpenters Heart 5k and fun run a success. Each entry fee helps bring the dream of a young boy or girl closer to the reality of a place to call home, 3 meals a day, and an opportunity to attend school. The urgency of this project is hard to understand, but if you can just imagine living on two meals per week, no money to go to a doctor, and no money to attend school. This is what this race is for.
