The Indiana Coalition Against
Domestic Violence (ICADV) is proud to host the 6th Annual Race Away From
Domestic Violence - to raise awareness and money to help us end domestic
violence in Indiana. It happens. Every nine seconds. Someone is a victim of
domestic violence. Sometimes it happens to a family member; other times, it
happens to those we least suspect. Regardless, it's up to all of us to end the
abuse and violence. You can help -- it's easy and fun! Come out and join us
rain or shine!
WHAT: A 5 K competitive
run, and family fitness run/walk/roll in downtown Indianapolis, led by Reverend
Richard Propes, a well-known Hoosier advocate in the fight against child abuse
and domestic violence. Reverend Propes is nationally recognized for his
wheelchair tours. The run will be timed and scored and prizes will be awarded
to top finishers.
WHEN: Saturday, August 15,
2009. Registration begins at 7:00 A.M. and opening ceremonies follow at 7:40.
WHERE: The IU Michael A
Carroll Stadium on the campus of IUPUI. Packet Pick up and Late Registration

TEAM INFORMATION: Why form
a team a team? Walking or running with people you know makes participating in
the ICADV Race Away from Domestic Violence even more fun! Training and fund
raising together makes it that much easier to reach your goals. Teams can be
made up of co-workers, friends, family members or anyone who wants to do a
great run/walk for a great cause. Eliminating domestic violence is a team
effort and Team Captains are our leaders in that pursuit. If you can recruit
five dedicated people to walk/run with you (and we know you can!), consider
becoming a team captain. There will be another “Team Competition” in
which prizes will be awarded to the team that has the highest number of members
as well as the team who raised the most money.
