From the Organizer
This is the 14th Anniversary of the Vito Nocero's 5K for Heroes run. This year the course will be at the Pinnacle Golf Course in Grove City for those who choose to participate in the IN-PERSON Race. PLUS we are offering a VIRTUAL option for those of you that are out of town which means you can participate when you choose. You will be mailed your race shirt.
DATE: OCT 24th (SATURDAY)
RACE TIME: Start time is 8:30 AM
Like our past races, all the proceeds and donations will benefit the Our Lady of Perpetual Help SPICE Program (Special People in Catholic Education) and the Marburn Academy, Vito Nocero Scholarship Fund.
This is a 5k walk/run for both adults, kids and Virtual Option. We just want you to have fun and enjoy the day.
We will have a donation page available to anyone who feels like donating along with participating in the 5k. The price for this year's race will be $35 for adults and $20 for children. You will receive a uniquely designed, SUPER soft T-Shirt.
You MUST register by Oct 20th to be guaranteed a race shirt. We sold out of shirts last year so don't forget to register ASAP.
Shirts will be passed out before the race on race day so there is NO official Packet Pickup.
This will not be a timed race. Our goal is to just come out and have some fun supporting family and friends.
*The VIRTUAL Race cost is $40 to cover the shipping cost of mailing the race shirts.
We hope you have a great time and THANK YOU for supporting us again this year
