Run with the Nuns!

Looking for a good 5k or 10k to run on Saturday that’s close to home? Join the Fun Nun Run!

This race to benefit the Poor Clares of Perpetual Adoration of Our Lady of Solitude Monastery in Phoenix (AKA the Desert Nuns) technically takes place in Arizona — and, indeed, an estimated 1,000 runners are expected to show up there. But because the Body of Christ knows no geographical boundaries, the sisters are allowing runners anywhere to run as shadow participants — meaning you register (be sure to check the Shadow Participant box), while doing the miles on your own, and still get the souvenir t-shirt! The sisters even plan to recognize the largest out-of-state team!

What a great idea, great cause, and great fun!

I’m definitely in, and if anyone else does the run virtually, I encourage you to post your race reports in the comments box. “See” you there!
