NWI Region Runners Hosting Free 5K Poker Fun Run, Collecting Donations for Food Pantry

NWI Region Runners’ are set to host a “FREE” 5K Poker Fun Run at Coffee Creek Watershed Preserve in Chesterton, IN on Saturday March 10th, 2012 at 8am. We will have giveaways, food, water, and we are asking that everyone bring a dish or treat to share along with at least one nonperishable food item for donation to the Westchester Neighbors Food Pantry .

Please arrive by 7:30am for pre fun run instructions.

For those looking for a good running group to join that entertains just about any running pace, but we ask that you be able to run at least 3 miles prior to joining one of the groups. Feel free to email any of the contacts below to be added to their email list for those group runs. There are no entry fees, or requirements to meet, just come on out and enjoy a good run with great people.
