Attention Runners: St. Louis is coming!!

It’s time to get the blood flowing and fire up the metabolism once again! For those of you who braved the elements running for Mercy in 2009, you should be mighty proud! It’s time, once again, to lace up your running shoes and start training because if you can run two miles, you can run a marathon in 2010!

Let’s go to the GO! St. Louis Marathon and Half-Marathon coming up on April 11th, 2010. It’s only three months away and runners will need to register at both www.gostlouis.org and www.runformercy.org/stlouis_marathon_2010. This year’s race will take us through beautiful downtown St. Louis and our Mercy team will both run and walk the course! Runners have to be 18 years of age on race day to compete in the full marathon, but 14 years of age to compete in the half-marathon. You will also receive a Run for Mercy shirt and goody bag on race day!

And don’t forget the pre-race Pasta Party the night before the race at the St. Louis Mercy Home. We will dine together with the residents and hear some inspiring testimonies from graduates. You will also be able to tour the home! Get ready to work it out because the St. Louis Mercy residents are ready to cheer you on to the finish line!

For any questions about running for Mercy in ST. LOUIS, please email Julianne at jfogt@mercyministries.com. Remember, you can also sign up as a virtual runner!
