Christian Health Service of Syracuse 5K
— through ACTIVE.COM —
The Good Samaritan Run will focus on helping those in need of affordable healthcare in our local community. Christian Health Service of Syracuse is reaching out to the CNY area in much the same way as the Good Samaritan in the Bible went out of his way to help his hurting neighbor.
Christian Health is determined to bring affordable primary healthcare to the community. The Good Samaritan Run proceeds will ensure that assistance, as well as raise awareness of this wonderful mission to our neighbors.
Faith based and scheduled the week following Easter, the event is sure to inspire those who love to run and want that first 5K spring experience as well as be a great event for churches, local businesses, families, and groups having the desire to help people that are our neighbors. The course is newly certified as the Good Samaritan 5K course in 2014 by USATF. Added to the event this year will be the Kid's Samaritan Sprint at 9:30am. The sprint is a quick loop for kids, ages 5-12, around the event area and through the Finish Chute. Kids doing the sprint may also participate in the Good Samaritan Run 5K which will begin at 10am. We're also opening up a brand new division of the race called the "Buddy Wheelchair Racers". This division will allow disabled individuals of any age, to participate with an attendant for one registration fee. Vendors, sponsors, concessions and activities makes the venue an exciting morning for all. Please join us in the 2nd annual Good Samaritan Run.

The Good Samaritan Run made it possible for Christian Health Service to provide 500 affordable healthcare appointments in 2014, affecting over 200 individuals and families. Our goal for 2015 is to see that number rise to 1000 or more healthcare appointments. Thank you for adding to the success of our 2nd Annual race and helping our neighbors get the healthcare they need.
