6th annual St. Paul village 5K walk/Run
Here is a summary of the 2018 Event

The 6th annual St. Paul Village Community Walk and 5K Run was held on Saturday, March 3, 2018. It was another successful event thanks to the efforts of the Planning Committee headed by co-chairs Anissa McLendon and Joe Bynum. Volunteers included: Chapel Hill BLET class, TROSA, the Arc of Triangle, Blue Ribbon Mentor program, the Chapel of the Cross. The wind did not keep more than 300 registered walkers and runners from participating. The fun is not over; we are raffling off a unique print. To purchase tickets ($2 each or 3 for $5), contact St. Paul (stpaulamechur25@bellsouth.net) or see a member of Planning Committee.
Hope to see you in 2019 on the first Saturday in March!
