"Run because you WANT to . . . for women who run because they HAVE to".
This Saturday, March 10, is the 4th Annual Fun Run to support Women Helping Women. Women Helping Women is a non-profit organization providing emergency shelter, crisis intervention, a 24-hour emergency hot line, and support services for victims of domestic violence. The registration fees and the pledges raised by participants help to continue the work of this organization here on Maui.
This is a family event with something for everyone. There are timed 5K and 10K events for runners and walkers. There is also a 2K fun run/walk for children. New this year is "Stroller Strides Maui"--a total fitness program for parents with babies that includes interval training with resistance bands as well as walking/running.
All races start and end at the Women ReVive Resale Boutique in the Old Kahului Shopping Center. Race day registration starts at 6 a.m. Races start promptly at 8 a.m.
The first three male and female finishers of the 5K and 10K races will receive awards. All participants who finish will be entered into drawings for several prizes at the awards ceremony. Following the races there will be music, food, and entertainment.

You can help end domestic violence in our community. Take a stand and walk or run this Saturday to raise the money so critical to the program's continuing success.
