Joe's Run Celebrates Thirteen Years!
Come join Samaritan House and friends for this annual 5K run/walk and the new 10K run.

It's hard to believe that it’s been thirteen years since the first Joe's Run, one of the biggest, most exciting benefit runs in Fort Worth. On Saturday, March 27th, 2010, the Annual Joe's Run kicks off at 8:00 AM - with many changes. The popular 5K run/walk has added a 10K run. All this benefits Samaritan House, a residential facility for homeless 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 13):	$18
Single Runner (After March 13):	$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 each year. The past several years, 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.
