The 2009 Run for Rwanda was a great success, with more than 370 registered runners and a beautiful morning on which to run, walk, or just enjoy the event's live music and sponsor booths. Our Kibali, Rwanda, race director also reports a successful race, with nearly 80 official runners.
We're still completing final accounting of the event, but initial calculations indicate that we raised more than $12,000 to help fund construction of the next phase of the Kibali health clinic.
Thank you to all who particpated in or supported this year's run. We will be adding information and photos to this website as they become available, so please check back for updates.
Again, thanks for helping make this year's race a success -- we value your partnership in our race on two continents toward one finish line: overcoming the devasting efffects of poverty with hope and opportunity.
Gratefully,
Steve Flannery, Race Director
