Boys Home of Virginia invites you to join us for our 1st
Annual Walk/Run 5K and FREE Kids' Fun Run in Roanoke, Virginia. This
event will take place on Saturday, September 9 at the Roanoke River
Greenway, Wasena Park. The Kids' Fun Run will begin at 8:45 a.m.,
followed by the Walk/Run 5K at 9:15 a.m. Early registration will be $25
until August 8. From August 9 until September 9, registration will be

Boys Home is encouraging a friendly competition amongst the churches! We invite and challenge you to create teams. If you wish to participate in a group with your church, you may select it when you register at runforboyshome.org. If your church is not listed, contact us (Lauren Ward at lward@boyshomeofva.org
or 540-965-7714) and we will add the church. Church groups will compete
at two levels: 1) overall finish among the top four participants in
each group, and 2) total contributions raised for Boys Home of Virginia
through race registrations, sponsorships, and donations. Winning church
will receive a pizza party! Click here for a poster and bulletin insert.
Proceeds from the race will help fund the construction and
renovation of two elementary school classrooms on the Boys Home of
Virginia campus in Covington, VA.
