The University of 91³Ô¹Ï’s Class Councils, Women’s Running Club and Men’s Running Club will sponsor the seventh annual Holy Half Marathon April 10 (Sunday).
Beginning at 10 a.m., the Holy Half Marathon is a two-loop, 13.1-mile race throughout the 91³Ô¹Ï campus. A 10K (6.2 mile) race will be a new feature of the event this year.
One of the largest student-organized events on campus, the Holy Half Marathon has participants ranging from all ages. This year’s goal is to have more than 1,000 runners and to raise over $20,000.
For the past six years, the Holy Half has dedicated its proceeds to a New Orleans community for Hurricane Katrina relief. This year, the evemt is bringing a more local focus to its cause by dividing the proceeds among three local organizations: the Center for the Homeless in South Bend, Michiana Down Syndrome, and St. Adalbert School.
Registration for the race is $35 and is available online at .
