Highlights from the Media Event about Hunger Hike 5K Run
Joe Micon, LUM executive director, hosted a media event at the new location of the first-ever, Hunger Hike 5K Run — Munger Park. Due to the cresting Wabash River, the Wabash Heritage Trail is not yet ready for our spring 5K event. The Hunger Hike 5K Run planning committee worked with the City of Lafayette — and the decision was made to move the race to Munger Park (3505 Greenbush Street, Lafayette). Click HERE to Register online for the Hunger Hike 5K Run.
The highlights of Joe Micon’s remarks at the media event are as follows:
The run will now start and finish in Munger Park—due to the high water along the Wabash River.
The weather forecast for Saturday is perfect running weather — cool, clear and overcast.
The Munger Park and Chatham Square trails are perfect for all levels of runners.
The latest “chip technology” will be used for timing.
Each runner will receive a commemorative T-shirt.
The winning runners will take away cash prizes: First place Male & Female Winner: $100 each; Second place Male & Female Winners: $50 each; Third place Male & Female Winners: $25 each
The run benefits three organizations focused on Feeding the Hungry: LUM Food Programs including St. John’s/LUM Food Pantry; Food Finders Food Bank; and St. Thomas Aquinas’ Haiti Ministry
