| Event Description |
The Inner-City Neighborhood Art House is ready for this year’s Art & Sole 5k Run and Walk. The 5k race kicks off at 9am on Saturday, May 9th and the 1k Fun Run for kids starts at 9:45am.
The Art & Sole 5k race is unique as the course begins at the Art House, loops through downtown Erie (through many of the neighborhoods we serve) and finishes back at the Art House. The popular Team Challenge offers special prizes for the top 3 teams. There will be games and art activities for all ages taking place in the Neighborhood Art House parking lot and music provided by DJ Mat K!
The mission of the Benedictine Sisters of Erie’s Inner-City Neighborhood Art House is to empower youth through creative experiences, to engage in positive self-expression, and to develop into confident and caring members of the community. All proceeds from the Art & Sole 5k Run and Walk will benefit the Afterschool, Summer, and Community Art Programs held at the Art House. Check us out at neighborhoodarthouse.org!
As always, the top 3 finishers in each age category in both the run and walk divisions will win fabulous student artwork as prizes. Plus, everyone who registers by April 20th will receive a limited-edition race shirt featuring artwork specially created by an Art House student. Participants can pick up their shirt and race bib at the Art House (201 E. 10th St. Erie, PA 16503) on Friday, May 8th beginning at noon until 6pm.
