THE EVENT
The inaugural Soles For Faith 5K is a family affair for all ages. Staged in beautifully scenic Branch Brook Park, the 5K Run and 3K Walk take place on traffic free park roads in early Fall. We also offer Kids' Dashes for children from age 2 to 11 at distances of 25 to 150 yards. Join us for our Soles For Faith t-shirt, DJ music, super refreshments, kids activities and a random prize drawing.
The 2010 Soles For Faith 5K is presented by The Office for Evangelization of the Archdiocese of Newark and the Soles For Faith Running Team. Your participation will benefit The Scholarship Fund for Inner City Children.
Branch Brook Park is easily reached via the New Jersey Turnpike, Garden State Parkway and Route 280. So, please join us on October 2nd.

WHO BENEFITS?
The Scholarship Fund for Inner City Children: Since 1983, SFIC has been providing partial tuition scholarships to enable low-income children living in the inner cities and urban areas of Essex, Union, Hudson and Bergen counties to attend private and parochial schools.
The Office for Evangelization of the Archdiocese of Newark: The Office for Evangelization of the Archdiocese of Newark seeks to guide people to an understanding, knowledge and close relationship with God through various programs and offerings. Soles For Faith answers the call of the late Pope John Paul II for a “new evangelization,” which challenged members of the faithful to find new ways of reigniting the flame of Catholicism in those around them using tools found in the routine of everyday life. The Soles for Faith Running Team is an outreach of the Office for Evangelization.
