Nov 9 Making A Difference 8K & 3K Run/Walk Cancelled
from Pam Garrett
Regrettably, the Making A Difference 8K & 3K Run/Walk, hosted by Our Lady of Mount Carmel School, has been cancelled for 2013, due to unforeseen circumstances related to our use of the Mariner’s Museum and Riverside neighborhood areas surrounding the Christopher Newport University Campus.
We encourage you to participate in the Virginia Running Festival 5K, Half Marathon & Fun Run events on Sunday November 10th, hosted by the CNU Alumni Society and Flat-Out Events, in conjunction with CNU Homecoming Weekend festivities.
Although we are unable to host the event this year, please know that we will return in 2014 with a new date for the Making A Difference event! Registered participants for the 2013 Making A Difference race will receive full refunds by mail in the coming weeks. We appreciate your understanding and support.
