LoveWay Hosting Fundraisers
Plans are well underway for the
second annual Frightening 5K and
Haunted Hilly Half Marathon on October 29 at 8:30 am.
Several aspects about this event
make it unique. For starters, the course
itself is not flat and fast like the majority of the races in our area. Running
through the Bristol Fruithills and then
into Middlebury and back, make this
one different.
“Just finishing the course will
entitle you to bragging rights!” said the
race organizer. “This is such a gorgeous
run on back country roads, with plenty
of farms and horses to look at.
Entry fees are $30 for the 5K and
$45 for the Half Marathon course,
which includes a long sleeve technical
tshirt featuring the vampire, chip timing and treats.
A Terrifying Trail walk has been
added for $10 that will have treats
along the way for other family members and spectators while they are
waiting on their racing friends. The
walk is not timed and shirts are sold
separately. Prices reflect an early registration discount through September
30.
Complete race details including a
form, maps and a turn by turn course
description can be found at www.
StoneSoupPromotions.com.
Also, the 17th annual Ride-a-Thon
fundraiser is planned for October 15.
The event is scheduled to take place
at the facility located at 54151 CR 33
Middlebury, IN 46540. The day will
be filled with activities for the whole
family.
The morning starts off at 7am with
an all-you-can-eat pancake breakfast
with sausage and drink for $5. Breakfast will be open until 10:30 am and
is being provided and served by the
Elkhart County Exchange Club.
Registration for the ride will take
place between 8 am and 10 am. The
minimum entry fee for riders is $35
and includes a goody bag, lunch after
the ride, and a door prize ticket. Those
riders who collect over $100 will be
entered into the Grand Prize Drawing
for a $300 gift certificate to Troyer’s
Saddlery. They will also receive a tshirt and lead rope as well as lunch and
a door prize ticket.
Those in the community that do
not have a horse of their own can take
advantage of free horse-drawn tram
rides provided by Bonneyville Carriage
beginning at 10am.
Also, a family fun fair will begin at
10 am. It will include a Jazzy Jumper
bounce house, pony rides, children’s
games & activities, and a bake sale.
Clowns for Christ will also be providing balloon animals and face painting.
Lunch will be available during the fun
fair as well as a live broadcast from
Froggy Radio.
