RACE for the Orphans 5K Testimonies
“Best event in Coweta”
“The perfect race to balance a charitable cause (with all proceeds going to their charity), family fun, and a professionally run race…the directors balance the day with fun for all ages but also respect the value of the distance being accurate and professional timing done by ORION…shirts are always great, proud to wear anywhere.”
“It was my pleasure to make the trek down to Newnan, and will look to bring a car full of folks next year assuming our racing calendar does not conflict (we had a number of folks fresh off of the Boston marathon and a handful competing in the USATF half marathon championship in Pittsburgh). I did complete the RACE survey…but in short, there’s really nothing I would change. I’ve run +/- 150 road races over the past 7 years, so I do get the opportunity to see them executed anywhere from first-timers, to 100th+ annual event. This was a good one, I can endorse it in earnest to my folks in Atlanta. Looking forward to seeing you again in 2020.”
“I love watching the Tot Trot. It’s like Black Friday morning at Walmart…mass chaos at the start and then thins out as time goes on.”
“I did the RACE survey but I really wanted to make sure my voice was heard so I wanted to reach out to you personally. I am an Atlanta Track Club member and an Ambassador for them as well. I have run countless 5ks during my running career. When one of the other ambassadors shared your race with us, I was a little skeptical but I am beyond glad that I ended up participating. The organization of the race rivals an Atlanta Track Club Grand Prix Race. It ran so smoothly I cannot give your volunteers enough praise. From {bib} number pick up the morning (which took me 5 minutes) to the start and end of the races, the entire day was so stress free. Your medals were absolutely beautiful and way more than I expected. I cannot wait for the RACE next year! I will be back and hopefully with my usual running family to help you raise even more money for families adopting! See you next year!!”
“I love the sense of family, with everyone cheering everyone on.”
“Well organized, well executed. Don’t change a thing.”
“Awesome medals”
“Seeing the {RACE grant recipient} families at the front made everything ‘real’—not just a ‘faceless’ cause.”
“I ran a road race PR so it was awesome!”
“Seeing the {grant recipient} families at the front made everything ‘real’–not just a ‘faceless’ cause.”
“Very well organized. Volunteers were enthusiastic and helpful.”
“Enjoyed the beautiful 5K course!”
“It is wonderful seeing the kaleidoscope of people participating.”
“I love seeing the RACE grow! With each new participant or group I rejoice at the reality that this is not just money or publicity…it’s PEOPLE! Little, eternal souls who may not ever know about God’s powerful love for them apart from adoption. What a beautiful thing to think about…each new entry has the potential to bring another human soul into the rich, eternal inheritance we will one day experience. Beautiful!”
