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 ([email protected]) or see a member of Planning Committee.
Hope to see you in 2019 on the first Saturday in March!

After that date the registration fees will be $25 (individual) or $45 (family depending on the number of children). Just as St. Paul Village will serve the entire community and not just the church itself, the St. Paul Village Community Walk and 5K Run will likewise benefit more than just its own fundraising effort. 10% of the proceeds will be donated to other community organizations. "We ask our members to tithe," says event organizer Anissa McLendon, "We should lead by example. We want this to truly be a community event."
