Norwoodians invited to Raise the Roof 5K Run/Walk

Last week we received an email from Norwood resident Rob Eggert who told he reads our blog (thanks again, Rob!) and asked us to let everyone know that Cincinnati Habitat Young Professional is sponsoring the first ever Raise the Roof 5K Run/Walk this Saturday. Rob has a couple of Norwood friends who are involved in YP Habitat for Humanity, including the event’s organizer Jayme Ritter, and they’re all hoping Norwood will be well represented this Saturday at Sharon Woods. Following is the invitation:


Please join us (and help to spread the word!)…the Cincinnati Habitat Young Professionals present the first ever Raise the Roof 5K Run/Walk! Saturday, October 17th at 3:00 pm. Hosted in Sharon Woods, this unique course shows off all of the beauty this park has to offer. Stick around for the after party to enjoy food, drinks and a raffle with great items donated by local businesses. To register, please visit www.sprunning.com, click on the register/results link on the left side of the page and scroll down to our event – the Raise the Roof 5K Run/Walk!
