From the Organizer
Come out for a morning of Family Fun with the San Juan Del Rio Parish Community! Participate in the 5K Run/Walk through the beautiful Marywood Retreat Center Grounds, 15-yard toddler dash, face painting, balloon animals, and more while helping us raise funds. Registration is free for all events. Donations go back into the community to help our neighbors in need. If you can't make it this year, please consider donating in support of our priests walk. All funds stay local to help our neighbors in need of food, shelter, and clothing.
Registration begins at 7:30 am at San Juan Del Rio Catholic Church. Run/Walk starts promptly at 8 am. Please park in the back parking lot. There will be signage and volunteers directing you. We are expecting a large turnout this year, so please come early so you and your family can get signed in and we can start 5K at 8 am.

A crisp $100 bill tops off the basket, bringing the total value to $575, and you can enter to win with single tickets at $5 each or five tickets for $20.
Activities will close at 11 am.
