Running Room- Feet For Change Run/Walk and Ribbon Cutting

On Wednesday, May 9, 2012, Eagan will get its first specialty store for runners and walkers when the Running Room opens at Eagan Promenade Shopping Center at Suite 102 - 3344 Promenade Ave.
 
As is the company’s custom, when the Running Room opens a new location, they host an event to benefit a local charity.

The Running Room invites you to participate in the Feet For Change Run/Walk on May 9th to support the Eagan and Lakeville Resource Centers. 

The Feet For Change run/walk “to put the boot to hunger” is open to the public and will raise money for the Eagan & Lakeville Resource Centers, the largest food shelf program in Dakota County. The Resource Centers work to eliminate hunger in Dakota County through food support and innovative programs such as the Garden to Table program, which promotes improved access to fresh garden produce for families in need.

More information on the Eagan and Lakeville Resource Centers can be found at www.eaganrc.org.

Running Room Founder and Author John Stanton and Frank Shorter, a 1972 Olympic Marathon Gold Medalist and member of the US Olympic, Distance and Track and Field Halls of Fame, will lead the “Feet For Change” community run/walk from the new store at 6:00pm.  There will be a short ceremony and ribbon cutting before the run/walk takes off!

Register for the Feet For Change one-mile or 5K run/walk here or by cash or check at any local Running Room.  People can also sign up at the Eagan Running Room on the day of the event. Registration is $10. One hundred percent of the entry fees will go to the Eagan and Lakeville Resource Centers. Every registered participant gets a free souvenir medal and is invited to join us for great post-run food and refreshments after.

This event is suitable for people of all fitness levels.  You can participate in either a 5K run/walk or a 1 mile run/walk.
