GREENVILLE, Ill.-- AgapeFest 2013 is partnering with The Simple Room of Greenville, Ill. to put on a 5K on Saturday, May 4 at 9 a.m. The proceeds from the 5K will go to The Simple Room of Greenville, Ill.
"The AgapeFest 5K is a great way to get the community and those outside the Greenville community to support a great cause," said Amber Featherston, the director of AgapeFest 2013. "Greenville College students work hard year round to make sure children feel the love of Christ, and the 5K is a great way for others to see this in action."
AgapeFest 2013 is proud to offer the Racin' and Rockin' 5K as part of the weekend festivities at the Bond County Fairgrounds. Not only will it be a great way to support the local community, but it will also be an exciting opportunity for runners to do what they love during AgapeFest weekend.
