The Village Of Mariemont will host the third annual Warrior Run: The Race for Life on Saturday, October 12, 2013. Last year the event drew a record 1,200 participants who were greeted by the beautiful fall foliage of Mariemont and the cheering of Mariemont residents across the Village.
While the USATF sanctioned 5k Warrior Run is the featured attraction of the event, the main attraction is the family-oriented events surrounding the race. For all ages there will be an untimed one-mile walk through the scenic Village Of Mariemont that runs concurrently with the 5k race. The event also includes a fun filled evening of food, drinks, music, and carnival-style kid’s games. Food for the event includes City Barbecue pulled pork and chicken, Homemade Chili, LaRosas pizza, UDF ice cream, hot dogs, hamburgers, and cookies and muffins. The event will also will also include a Bid-n-Buy event with merchandise donated by area merchants. Music will be provided by radio station 94.9 “re-wind”, and at dusk the event will conclude with the showing of the movie “Brave” on a temporary big screen erected in the center of the Bell Tower Park. Again this year will be prizes for the Mariemont resident along the race route who provides the best set up for the simulcast from 94.9 “re-wind” during the race; the residence with the best set up during the race will receive a gift certificate to the National Exemplar Restaurant.
The Warrior Run: The Race for Life will begin at 5:30pm at the Mariemont Bell Tower on Pleasant Street. The Event benefits the Surviving the Teens® program created by Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center. It provides information, resources and support on teen mental health problems to help guide teens and families through the ups and downs they might face.
To date, The Warrior Run: The Race for Life has raised nearly $100,000 for the Surviving the Teens® program. Last year the event drew over 1,200 runners/walkers and resulted in a donation of $35,000 to the Surviving the Teens® program.
