Race Results
Hello and welcome to the Run for the World 5K and 1 mile Run/Walk. 2008 will mark the Inaugural year for
the Run for the World 5K, which will be held right in the heart of Downtown Rome. Run among all Rome has
to offer, including over the famous clock-tower hill. Come join us for a morning of fun that is sure
to amuse the family and friends. We hope that you will join us for this fun event taking place on
April 19th. As a host for this event our team of directors is striving to raise money to allow high
school and college students the opportunity to effect and be affected by world mission around the
globe. In this 2008 year, 40 high school and college students will be traveling to Buenos Aires,
Argentina in order to better help people in need as well as learn what it means to serve others
in the name of Jesus Christ.
We hope you will consider partnering with us to better help these
students reaching their goal of going on this trip either by your participation or through your
donations! Registration, starting and finish lines will be located at "The Crossing"(across from
Rome Transit Bus Station, and next to harvest moon). Please feel free to look through this website
