On Sunday, May 20, Family Services will be holding its 6th annual 10K-5K Race and Walk at the Penn State Altoona Campus starting at 8 a.m.
This year’s event is presented by Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield.
“We are asking area runners, residents, organizations and businesses to show their support to stop violence against women,” explained Gunter Volders, marketing and communications manager for Family Services Incorporated.
“Every 10 seconds a woman falls victim to a crime in the United States. That number is too big. Lace up your running or walking shoes and show your support for women in America.”
The race and walk event features a 10K run race, a 5K run race, a 5K (3.1 miles) fun walk, and a lollipop race for the youngest participants, ages 3-10.
Runner and walkers can surf to www.familyservicesinc.net/race to register online. The registration fee is $20.
The first 250 participants will receive a long-sleeved T-shirt. Day-of event registration is available.
Family Services would like to thank the following race sponsors: Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield, JJAN Financial Group, S.P. McCarl & Company, First Commonwealth Bank, Reliance Bank, Crystal Pure of Altoona Inc., Penn State Altoona and Shields Trophy and Awards.
Bring your family, friends and co-workers and take a stand to “Stop Violence Against Women”.
