Hunger Hike 5K Run—Moves to Munger Park

Due to the recent rain —

the Wabash River is too high & the Heritage Trail is not ready.

Due to the cresting Wabash River, the Wabash Heritage Trail is not yet ready for our spring 5K event. BUT even floods and torrential rains will not stop our efforts to Fight Hunger in our Community. The Hunger Hike 5K Run planning committee has been in discussions all weekend with the City of Lafayette — and the decision has been made to move the race to Munger Park (3505 Greenbush Street, Lafayette).

You are still encouraged to be a part of the inaugural Hunger Hike 5K Run & Race to Feed the Hungry. The Hunger Hike 5K Run is open to runners of all ages and abilities who share a common goal: Fighting Hunger!

The Hunger Hike 5K Run will convene at Munger Park (Greenbush Street entrance) with start/finish at the shelter in Munger Park. The race will follow their beautiful, paved lake-front & Chatham Square trails. The latest “chip technology” will be used to give all runners an accurate race result time.

Online Registration for the HH5K will close at noon on Friday, April 19, 2013, but race day walk-ups are always welcome.

The purpose of the Hunger Hike 5K Run is to use physical exercise to draw attention to and funds for “Feeding the Hungry.” All Hunger Hike 5K Run proceeds directly support the Lafayette Urban Ministry food assistance programs including the St. John’s/LUM Food Pantry, Food Finders Food Bank, and St. Thomas Aquinas’ Haitian Ministry including the Haiti Water Purification Project. The latest “chip technology” will be used to give all runners an accurate race result time.

It’s an opportunity to support these outstanding local organizations while enjoying a serious 5K event.
