The Monet Richardson Community Foundation is excited to announce the date for our highly anticipated Running with the Angels 5K Run & Walk in 2024. The annual event will take place on Saturday, March 23, at East Chapel Hill High School, bringing together our local community to support a noble cause.
Executive Director Pat Richardson said: “As Krissy’s mother I am honored to continue her legacy of work especially as it relates to the backpack program which she so modestly started. Krissy saw a need in the community via the YMCA Chapel Hill-Carrboro Y-Learning Program and she decided to do something about it. How many of us can say we actually do this? I know I haven’t always so I am honored to step into these large shoes and continue the work she started. The 5K Walk & Run with the Angels allows MRCF to continue this work with the proceeds raised from our runners, walkers, donors, sponsors and more. We celebrate 3 years for this community event and look forward to many more to come.”
Each year, the MRCF Running with the Angels 5k has been a resounding success and we are excited to continue this tradition of community support and philanthropy. This event draws participants from all walks of life, including community supporters, students, families, businesses, and dedicated volunteers. We aim to unite the community and create a positive impact by raising awareness and rallying support for youth in our area. Registration opens in October, and individuals or teams are encouraged to sign up through our RunSignUp page. Participants can expect a professionally designed 5K course, officially mapped and certified by US Track and Field, complete with chip timing to enhance their racing experience. The race will commence at the baseball field of East Chapel Hill High School and wind its way through a neighboring community adjacent to the school.
Registration costs are $30 for adults and $20 for individuals aged 18 and under, which includes an event tee shirt and swag bag. Additionally, our participants will enjoy complimentary food and beverages, graciously provided by our sponsors. Prizes will be awarded to top winners in various age and gender groups, adding an extra element of excitement.
MRCF would like to thank our sponsors, volunteers, and the community for their unwavering support over the years. Your contributions have made a significant impact on the lives of children in need, and we look forward to continuing this journey together.
