RUN AWAY is the 3rd annual Walk/Run to benefit Hannah Home Shelby. Hannah Home Shelby is a 13,000 square foot Christ-centered home that serves the needs of abused women and their children. It is a ministry of the King’s Ranch and Hannah Homes. This home serves the Greater Birmingham area by providing long-term care, spiritual healing, and a loving environment.
Each year Hannah Home Shelby Auxiliary raises $100,000 for the operating expenses of Hannah Home Shelby, a home for abused and homeless women and children fleeing domestic violence. Many of our Auxiliary members are also members at St. Vincent’s One Nineteen and One Nineteen was excited to partner with us in hosting an event to help with this commitment. A walk or a race at their facility was agreed upon and has become an annual event.
In 2007 we were hoping to have a race, but the race calendar was booked so we decided to have a One Mile Walk/Run that first year. We raised over $20,000 in sponsorships and pledges and the participation was more than we expected.
We were able to get on the race calendar for 2008, so we expanded the walk and added the 8K race. Greystone Founders allowed us to travel through the gates of Greystone . With their support along with St. Vincent’s One Nineteen, we had 100 runners and 100 walkers and raised $20,000.
"In 2009, we had some exciting updates as this event continued to grow. This race was selected as the RRCA State 8K Championship and we doubled our runners participation and raised $23,000. With growing support in the community, we have a vision that one day "Run Away . . . From Domestic Violence" will raise over $100,000 for women and children in need. "
"This year, in 2010, the 8K Race beginning at One Nineteen Health and Wellness will again be designated as the RRCA Southern Region 8K Championship." This year, in 2010, the 8K Race beginning at One Nineteen Health and Wellness will be a USATF Certified Course."
