[FONT="]Shelter House – Domestic Violence Center and Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort are teaming up for the inaugural Luminaria Run at 5 pm on Saturday, Dec. 10, 2011.
[/FONT]
[FONT="]The course will be lined with more than 2,000 luminarias, lighting the path for the walkers/runners and representing how Shelter House and its community partners light the way to a safer place for victims of domestic violence in Okaloosa and Walton counties.
The race includes 5k and 9k courses winding throughout Sandestin. The 9k distance serves as a reminder that a woman is assaulted or beaten every nine seconds in the U.S.
The public is encouraged to decorate a luminaria bag to be placed along the course in honor or in memory of a loved one. Bags are available through a $10 donation to Shelter House and can be picked up and dropped off at the Shelter House Administration Office located at 102 Buck Drive in Fort Walton Beach.
This is a twilight race beginning and ending at Sandestin's Baytowne Marina. Registration for the 5k is $25 for adults in advance or $35 on site and $10 for children in advance or $15 on site. The 9k race costs $40 in advance or $50 on race day for adults and $15 in advance and $20 on race day for children. Walkers are also welcome.
