PartnerRe Women’s Run & Walk This Weekend
The PartnerRe Women’s 5K Run & Walk is set to be held this Sunday [Oct 6], bringing together women and girls from around the island in order to promote good health and to support a worthy cause.
Now in its sixteenth year, the PartnerRe Women’s 5K Run & Walk is presented by Mid-Atlantic Athletic Club [MAAC], sponsored by PartnerRe Ltd. and sanctioned by the Bermuda National Athletics Association [BNAA]. One of the few all-female events on Bermuda’s sporting calendar, it includes a 5K race for women, as well as a 5K walk and a 2K run for girls under 15. The goal is female fitness, health, safety, and self-esteem, and all proceeds go to a cause that promotes these values.
Start of the 2012 PartnerRe Women’s race:
Since 1998, the PartnerRe Women’s 5K Run & Walk has raised more than $360,000 for female-related causes in Bermuda, including programmes to fight heart disease, confront physical abuse, support rape victims, educate teenagers, combat breast cancer, and fund equipment and initiatives supporting the treatment of women’s health
2013 marks 16 years of support for women’s causes in Bermuda, and this year all entry fee proceeds [matched by title sponsor PartnerRe Ltd.] will go directly to the Coalition for the Protection of Children.
Join the tradition of the last fifteen years and walk or run the 5K route between Botanical Gardens and Lovers Lane, Paget, to help support this important women’s cause. There will be a new 2K route for the girls this year. After the race, relax at the Gardens and enjoy a nutritious breakfast available to all participants generously donated by Butterfield and Vallis. There will also be 1,000 fantastic goody bags available for the first 1,000 ladies at number pick-up on Saturday, October 5 between 9am and 11am.
Closing date for entries online at racedayworld.com is today [Oct 4] at 5pm. Race awards include thousands of dollars in prizes for all age categories, plus fantastic draw prizes. Draw prize winners must be present at time of draw.
