ShelterCare’s Run for Your Life 5k Fundraiser Returns

Prepare to Run for Your Life! ShelterCare will once again be partnering with Thrill the World Eugene to host their annual zombie-themed timed 5k benefit with over 100 zombies hidden around the Alton Baker Park race course. The event is sponsored by Trillium Community Health Plan. There will also be a photo booth, face painting, and a zombie flash mob.

ShelterCare provides housing and mental health services to individuals and families experiencing or at risk of homelessness. Their programs include Shelter and Temporary Housing, Permanent Supported Housing, and Behavioral Health Services with the goal of moving program participants toward managing their own personal leases in the community. 

This spooky fundraiser will support housing and mental health services for ShelterCare’s program participants, so they can achieve their greatest level of independence. 

– The event will take place Sunday, October 19th at 3:00pm.
– Registration begins at 1:30pm.
– The start/finish line is located at the permanent shelters in Alton Baker Park.
