Join us for our third 5K Walk/Run on
Saturday, October 27--
just over two months away!
You can register for the 5K by clicking here.
Please register as soon as you can so we can get a good count of how many people to expect. Registration is free, as always; we just ask that you bring a donation on the day of the event.
Register for runners/walkers, and remember that non-running/walking family members (including kids) are welcome to come. There will also be kids' footraces and games, entertainment, information about DR Congo, and some surprises.

And, of course, we need help! If you would like to help with organizing the event, contact us at utahforcongo@gmail.com. We need donations, too--cash or in-kind, venue fees, prizes, raffle items, swag, anything--so please let us know if you or someone you know would like to donate. As always, we are planning to arrange donations to cover all our organizing costs so that 100 percent of our event proceeds can go to Women for Women International's programs in DR Congo, but we need help from our community in order to make this happen.
If you don't have time to be involved with the planning, you can still help us out by spreading the word about the 5K to your family and friends. Facebook and e-mail are great ways to get the word out. Let people know that you will be attending--and tell them why!--and invite them to join you.
Last year we had 124 runners, and we hope that even more people will come this year. We're planning to make the event as warm, supportive, and meaningful as you have come to expect. We hope to see you--and your family and friends!--there.
