The 15th Annual Run the River 5K, 10K, and Fun Run Road Race will be April 16. The race benefits RUMC mission partner HomeStretch, which provides housing and mentoring for homeless families. CUC voted to support the 2016 Homestretch Road Race with a sponsorship of $750. A number of CUC members have volunteered to work on this race each year for a number of years. This year Lynn Adcock, Tom Knight and George Waite are on the committee.

To support the Congregation Challenge, which is a friendly competition among local churches and synagogues, be sure anyone who registers to run or to make a donation include RUMC in the message area. The congregation with the highest dollar credit (registrations and donations) will receive the large Run the River trophy to display for a year, plus bragging rights!
