St. Luke's 4th annual Mission Miles run took place Saturday January 30 at 8:00AM. The streets of Dunwoody were closed down as 500 people ran through their 5k and 10k courses that started on Mt. Vernon Drive. It was a fantastic day for the community and is quickly becoming a premier event for the Dunwoody community. We are a great church in a great community. Thank you everyone who volunteered and ran. It was amazing to see the entire church come together for a great event to support a great cause. Over a hundred people from the church volunteered their time to help put this together. Special thanks are needed for Marty Whitcomb, our race director. She had the vision 4 years ago and it is growing and growing to amazing levels. Julie Pile, Mary Reid, and Mary Martin also deserve special thanks as they put in countless hours in preparation for the Tartan Trot.
Some preliminary numbers:
about 640 registered runner (550 actual runners)
about 75 peachtree qualifiers
around $41,500 gross (this is amazing)
about 80 cakes and pies given away
over 100 awesome volunteers.
All the proceeds will go toward faithful youth mission and outreach in the Atlanta community and around the world.
Thank you again to everyone who participated in this great event. Please see our sponsors on the board at church or at www.tartantrot.com
