Participate in the E-Race waitlist during the annual Meal Miles

KONROE, TX – The 7th annual Miles for Meals 5K/10K Walk Run “Run to E-Race the Waitlist” is scheduled for Saturday, March 4 at the B-52 Brewery in Conroe. The event allows family, friends and community partners to improve the lives of seniors in their homes by supporting Meals on Wheels Montgomery County (MOWMC), whose mission is to deliver nutritious meals, provide transportation and care for local seniors in at home.

As this place is family friendly, strollers and leashed dogs are allowed. Walk, run and enjoy the morning at 5 km or 10 km if you need more than 10 km. The course passes through the Lake Forest Falls neighborhood in Conroe. Cross the finish line and enjoy the six-acre B-52 Brewing Company’s wooded beer garden, serving craft beer and serving food trucks before and after the race.

The race is limited to 800 participants, so register soon. Registered members receive gift bags, a T-shirt, a commemorative pint and 3 glasses of craft beer, homemade root beer or lemonade (subject to age restrictions). Everyone receives a finisher’s medal and prizes are awarded to the top three finishers in each age group. Register at www.mowmc.org/miles-for-meals-5k-10k/.

Each competitor will receive official chip time results immediately after the race. Rain or shine event!
The race starts promptly at 9:00, registration starts at 7:45. Parking spaces on the B-52 are limited, so plan ahead. Packages are available from the Meals on Wheels office at 111 South 2nd Street in Conroe on Thursday, March 2 from 12:00 pm to 5:30 pm and Friday, March 3 from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm.

Miles for Meals Miles hopes to raise enough funds to eliminate the waiting list for seniors who stay at home. Every year, the demand for services increases as baby boomers become older adults. MOWMC hopes to add 50 more seniors to the home food delivery service after fundraising.

“Miles for Meals 5K is always a fun, camaraderie experience and a good Saturday morning workout. We need the help of the community to make life better for seniors at home,” said Executive Director Summer Day. “Sign up now before it sells out.”

Current community sponsors include Teligistics, Western Midstream, Ace Fence, Kevin Baker Homes and Real Estate, #LiveLikeJack, Sam Houston State University, Blanton Advisors LLC, Howard Hughes, Sterling Ridge Dentistry, Dr. Travis Hird, MD, Old Republic Title, GeoGroup and Wendell Legacy Homes.

Don’t want to walk or run, but still want to participate? Volunteers were supposed to help the event before and during the event.

Since 1973, MOWMC has had a successful history of delivering meals to local seniors delivering 31,000 meals per month. Volunteers deliver food along ninety routes across 1,000 square miles of Montgomery County. In addition, the MOWMC Transportation Service provides more than 17,000 trips annually for the disabled and the elderly. With a mission to strengthen the independence and dignity of every senior at home through the provision of nutritious meals, transportation, and nurturing connections, MOWMC can always draw on additional volunteers and donations.
