On September 5 at Overton Park, we had a good group from Emmanuel walking in the Annual Clergy Chase with some doing the 1-mile Fun Run/Walk and some the officially timed 5K Run/Walk.
Emmanuel’s participants were quite successful.
Medal winners in their age group in the 5K from EUMC included:
Elizabeth Johnston – 3rd
Terri Glazier – 1st
Gloria Hepburn – 2nd
The Clergy Chase encourages congregations to run with their pastors to raise awareness about diabetes wellness and prevention and to promote healthy churches.
Linda Gabriel, our Associate Minister, enjoyed the day. “Congratulations Winners! It was a fun but hot day. I consider myself ‘chased’ even though I was behind you. Thanks for a great morning!”
The Annual 5K Clergy Chase benefits the Methodist South Diabetes Wellness & Prevention Center and is sponsored by Methodist Health Systems.
