The Human Race,

a family fun and fitness event!

In partnership with the City of Newport News Park Celebration in Lights.

The 2010 Human Race Forms are here!  Look below and click on the link that works for your situation!

The Volunteer Center is BIG on family fun and fitness.  Want to experience the Celebration in Lights up-close-and-personal?  Join The Human Race and walk the 1.5 miles along the scenic route in Newport News Park.  Pre-registration is required.  Check out the FAQ link below for full information on the event.  Start your holidays with a new family fun and fitness tradition!  Annually held the Tuesday before Thanksgiving, this premier walk occurs on Tuesday, November 23, 2010.  Meet at Woodside High School between 5 pm and 7 pm.  Again, you MUST be pre-registered to attend.  The Human Race is open only to registered participants.


As any group knows, raising the dollars to support your program can be one of the most time consuming and difficult parts of the job. We at The Volunteer Center of the Virginia Peninsula want to offer a fun way for your group to raise dollars, increase public awareness of your members and provide an evening of family fun and fitness as a reward for your efforts. To find out how your group can raise funds contact The Volunteer Center.

 

Last year The Human Race raised $12,407 to benefit 25 local nonprofits, schools and communities of faith.  Congratulations to the YWCA for raising $1,562 in their first year of participation!  What a great way to support your program!
