Iowa ORI Fundraiser: Run for Hope 5K
The event is a 5K fundraiser held in Elma, Iowa at 4839 150th St. The course is an out-and-back route that starts and finishes at the intersection of the bike trail and the road and runs past Lylah’s Marsh. The organizer describes the route as flat and scenic.
The fundraiser supports Orphan Resources International, an organization that provides food, resources, and counseling to orphanages in Guatemala. The event materials state that ORI began as a small support effort and has grown to serve more than 50 homes and run over 10 work teams each year. Counseling services were added after staff learned about abuse many children experienced before living in the homes.
Registration for the 5K is listed with a fee of $25.00. The event description notes that participation in walking, jogging, or running contributes to funding for food, resources, and counseling at the supported orphanages.
The course layout and address are provided for participants and observers. A map is mentioned by the organizer for reference but is not included here. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
