Women, men, and children are invited to participate in the July 10 event, which is part of this year’s Break the Chains project. The day will conclude with a lakeside dinner.
Participants can choose from a selection of distances to walk. Walks of five and 15 miles will be designated. Participants also can tag-team portions of the walk as teams.
Registration is $50 per person regardless of the walk’s length. People walking as part of teams still pay the full registration. Each walker will receive a Break the Chains shirt.
Participants can run instead of walk, but must realize that the event is not categorized as a race as the course is not appropriate for that purpose, emphasizes Cherith Anderson, assistant director of adult ministries at Covenant Harbor Bible Camp & Retreat Center and the event’s organizer.
Walkers should register as an athlete at the Break the Chains website and provide the requested information:
- Name of Race: Walk to Break the Chains
- Location: Covenant Harbor
- Date / Length of Walk: July 10, 2010 / 26, 15, or 5 miles
- Confirmation ID: Leave blank
Individuals can sponsor a walker by registering online. Choose a specific athlete or leave that space blank.
Volunteers also are needed. For more information, email Anderson or call 262-745-6257. New Day is a ministry seeking to rehabilitate the lives of girls rescued from sex slavery.
