Description

Race Overview

Join us for the 1st Annual Touch of Grace 5K and Fun Run on Friday, June 30th at 6:30pm!  The course route is the Morganton Greenway, starting at the Catawba Meadows access area.  Your canine friends are encouraged to join you for the event!

Beneficiary

A donation will be made out of the proceeds of the event to A Touch of Grace, a non-profit animal welfare fund established in memory of Gracie Avery, a sixteen year old beagle mix, that passed away in December 2016. A Touch of Grace animal welfare fund was established to benefit animals that are in need of medical care, love, and a touch of grace. As a new fund, A Touch of Grace needs your help to expand its capacity for helping animals in need.

VOLUNTEERS!  We absolutely could not have a successful event without our volunteers.  If you are interested in helping with set up, on-site registration, packet pick-up, handing out water to competitors, cheering for participants on the course, or other tasks, you can sign up online or by emailing shoresmultisport@gmail.com.  Volunteers will receive a free volunteer t-shirt.
