Joe's Run Celebrates Twelve Years, announces RadioShack as title sponsor, and adds a 10K Run to its program!
Come join Samaritan House and friends for this annual 5K run/walk and the new 10K run

It's hard to believe that its been twelve years since the first Joe's Run, one of the biggest, most exciting benefit runs in Fort Worth. On Saturday, March 28th, 2009, the Annual Joe's Run kicks off at 8:00 AM with many changes. This year Joe's Run is pleased to announce that RadioShack has signed on as title sponsor. The popular 5K run/walk has added a 10K run, all benefiting Samaritan House, a residential facility for men and women living with HIV/AIDS. This year, the Run will be chip-timed with the new ChronoTrack Timing System used at major marathons around the country. To register before the race, stop by Samaritan House at 929 Hemphill, or register online.  

Entry fees are as follows:

Single Runner (Through March 14):	$18
Single Runner (After March 14):	$20
Team Runner (Teams of 5 or more):	$15
Race Day Registration:	$25

Your entry fee entitles you to a colorful T-shirt and admission to the after-race party. Registration for this race will fill up quickly, so make your plans early.

Joe's Run has continued to grow steadily since its inception. The first race saw more than five hundred runners turn out to compete for the hand-carved parrot trophies offered as prizes. Each subsequent year, the number of participants has increased by as much as five hundred or more per year. Two years ago, more than 2000 runners and volunteers took part in the festivities.

In addition to helping Samaritan House rescue, nurture, and launch our residents back into productive lives as our neighbors, there are other benefits to being part of this year's run: awesome T-shirts; free food prepared by local eateries, soft drinks and water; children's activities, and trophies for the winners. To top it all off, the race also makes thousands of new friends for Samaritan House and helps raise a portion of its operating costs for the coming year.
