Right To Hike, Inc. is dedicated to
celebrating the life of our friend, Meredith
Hope Emerson through raising funds and awareness
for causes close to Meredith's heart. We
hope to honor her memory by sharing her courage,
love of the outdoors and belief that all people
have the right to live without fear.
Right to Hike,
Inc. is proud to host the First Annual Ella's 5k
and Fun Run. This event will take place on
October 25th, 2008 at
The Gwinnett Environmental
and Heritage Center.
This beautiful facility is the perfect setting
for this event with its scenic trails and
commitment to protecting the environment.
Meredith and Ella were some of the first
visitors to these trails and they truly enjoyed
their time there.
The 5k's route
will take you on paved paths as well as a trail
course. There are also a few hills incorporated
into the run. This event will also host a 1 mile
fun run and walk that is ideal for beginners and
veterans alike. The entire fun run mile will be
paved.
Right to Hike,
Inc. would like to encourage people to bring
their dogs for both events. For the 5k, runners
without dogs will go first, followed by runners
with their dogs. The fun run will then begin
shortly after the 5k. The first group will begin
at 8:00am. This is a perfect event in which the
whole family can become involved.
Each
participant in the 5k and Fun Run will receive a
t-shirt. Participants who raise $100 and over
will also receive a commemorative medal. Awards
will be given to the top finishers. Also, each
dog that participates will receive a special
gift from Right to Hike, Inc.
