Run to Stay Warm Celebrates 10th Anniversary
November 16, 2016
EWEB's Run to Stay Warm, featuring a half-marathon, 10K, 5K and Kids' 400-meter dash, celebrated its 10th anniversay on Sunday, Nov. 20. The event supports EWEB's Customer Care program, which helps income-eligible customers who are struggling to pay their utility bills and stay warm through the winter months. The Customer Care program celebrates its 20 year anniversary this year. To date, the event has raised more than $216,000 for our neighbors in need.
More than 1,100 runners and walkers joined us on the cool, crisp, sunny morning. With music playing, the sun peeking out from the clouds, and Sluggo hanging out with kids who had joined us for the Kids Run, spirits were high.
Post-race, participants headed just down the street to the Tap and Growler for the After Party, complete with soup, bread and a beverage of their choice, donated by Claim52 Brewing. Awards were presented to the top three male and female finishers in each race and the age division winner from each race.
