Thanksgiving Wattle 5K Run/Walk
Feel good about participating in an Event where you can join family and friends, and a large amount of event proceeds will go to our Charities, the Grove City Food Pantry. Your donation can help the GC Food Pantry buy needed foods from the MidOhio Food Bank with much purchasing power. More so than your same money can buy at a local grocer and then donate to them. The GC Food Pantry is the local pantry located on site at the Church with the Purple Doors. It is a 501c3 charity, and it is 100% staffed by volunteers. They help 1000's of families a year by providing basic supplies for those qualified.
Primrose Children's Run
100% of Primrose Children Run Race fees will be donated directly to the Grove City Food Pantry. On the day of the event, finishers will receive a medal, a juice packet, and a cookie. Two Heats: First Heat: Start time: 8:30am Sharp. Generally designed for 2-5 year olds. This will be a 150-200 yard dash. It will start 200 yards from the Start/Finish Arch. We will set up a makeshift Starting line west of the Start/Finish Arch at about 200 yards away from the Arch. Children will run East and chase (mascot) Turkeys, Pilgrims (and possibly Batman) to the finish line. Once arriving at the Finish line, they will receive medals, juice and a cookie. At Packet Pick Up they will pick up a bib, t-shirt and a goodie back with a McDonald’s Happy Meal Voucher 2nd Heat: Start time: 8:32am Generally designed for 6-9 year olds (but we have known 3-5 year olds in Heat 1 to do a repeat here?) This event will start at the Start/Finish arch at approximately 8:32 am. Children will run West on Lamplighter Drive for about 300 yards, do a loop and return. They also will chase (the now tiring) above characters. The runners run through the Start/Finish arch, finishing in front of the emcee stage. Once arriving at the Finish line, they will receive medals, juice and a cookie. At Packet Pick Up they will pick up a bib, t-shirt and a goodie bag with a McDonald’s Happy Meal Voucher.
