WANTED! TEAM OF 25 NON-RUNNERS TO HELP US RAISE $1,000!
Akron Road Runner Marathon has provided us with an additional way to raise money this year. If we put together a team of 25 NON-RUNNING VOLUNTEERS, Akron Road Runner Marathon will donate $1,000 to Church at Stony Hill and its causes. That’s right – $1,000! Volunteer jobs are not difficult and require a couple of hours of your time either on Friday, September 23rd or Saturday, September 24th. And while you are there you can cheer on those Stony Hill church members that have decided to run in the marathon or relay this year! It might even be part of your volunteer job description.
Please consider helping. The volunteer opportunities are somewhat limited so please contact Chris Batman cbatman@churchatstonyhill.com or Keara Schoonover keara@churchatstonyhill.com ASAP with your volunteer job choice.

Hello Runners!
As the weather gets nicer, its time to start training for the Roadrunner Akron Marathon. Church at Stony Hill will be participating in the marathon on September 24, 2011 and we would greatly appreciate your help in supporting this fundraiser. As you may recall, the money we raise from the marathon goes a long way in helping sustain our existing programs and structure.
We will be organizing the marathon slightly differently this year. We hope to foster a stronger team spirit among our runners. Each relay team will have a team leader who will be responsible for communicating with team members, organizing possible team fundraisers, and encouraging team members.
Since we appreciate your support, we have planned several services for our runners. First, we will be paying for the cost of your entry fee into the marathon. We also hope to hold 3 marathon seminars that will cover topics such as safe training, injury prevention, injury management, and nutrition. In the spirit of team-building, we will hold weekend runs at area parks. The day before the marathon, please join us for a carb-loaded spaghetti dinner.
Please complete and return a Runner Registration Form asap so we can start assembling teams. Feel free to contact Keara Schoonover at (330) 421-5073 or the church office at (330) 239-9858 with questions.
Download the Runner Registration Form here.
