Run a race to
make a difference
2016 New Path 5K/10K set to raise $10,000 for families in the Miami
Valley
April 7, 2016 (Tipp City, OH) – Lace up your sneakers and get ready to
run a new path in the 14th Annual 2016 New Path 5K / 10K Walk/Run,
Saturday, April 30, 9am.
Both the 3.1-mile course and the 6.2-mile course are open to runners
and walkers – young and old – in addition to their four-legged friends.
Childcare will also be available for children age eight and under.
Proceeds from this event are donated to New Path Inc., an organization
that aids families in the Miami Valley with food, housing, furniture,
health equipment and supplies, clothing and transportation.
"The 5K is a great way for runners and walkers alike to gather to make
a difference in our community by creating a bridge for those who need a
hand up, not a hand out, in their time of need," shares Sherry Loschi,
New Path race coordinator.
"Most 5K's have a charitable purpose, but the New Path 5K/10K
specifically has a tangible purpose that impacts the very core of our
community," said New Path 5K runner, Karen Smith.
Last year the New Path Food Pantry served nearly 33,600 people in the
Miami Valley. It's Gateway Café program provided over 4,300 full-course
meals, and the GIVE Medical program offered assistance to over 1,700
people with short or long-term disability needs by providing medical
equipment. This year's race is set to raise nearly $10,000 for these
needs through New Path, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization.
