5K for Hands of Hope

Hands of Hope had their annual 5k run on Saturday, July 1st, after heavy rains postponed the Friday evening event. The weather was beautiful on Saturday and a great day for the 5k. Only 28 participants were able to make it this year as many were not able to come since it was rescheduled due to the weather.

The success of the event was due to the sponsors, participants, and especially all the volunteer hours that go into making this great for the community and the pregnancy center.

The winners included: Top overall female- Shay Soukup, top male- Tyler Reese. Ages 9 and under- female Esther Schrenk and male Amos Schrenk. Ages 10-14, female Joanna Schrenk and male Brooks Laukhuf. Ages 15-19, female Gracie Laukhuf and male Joshua Trausch. Ages 20-29, female Sarah Schrenk and male Tyler Reese. Ages 30-39, female Shonda Huerta and male Erik Lehmkuhle. Ages 40-49 top male Jeff Schultz. Ages 50-59, female Linda Schrenk and male Harry Rodriguez. Age 60 and up, top female Pam Reese.

Hands of Hope is excited about the outcome and making plans for next year!
