Cincom Sponsors the 2007 Bashful Ostrich 5K Race

Proceeds benefit survivors of sexual abuse

[ClickPress, Tue Apr 24 2007] Cincom is proud to be the presenting sponsor of the 2007 Bashful Ostrich 5K Race in Cincinnati, Ohio.

The Bashful Ostrich 5K is the 7th annual race/fitness walk (formerly The Run for the Children) whose goals are to raise awareness for sexual-abuse survivors and funds for organizations involved with therapy and prevention.

What: a 5K race for runners and walkers

When: Memorial Day, Monday, May 28, 2007 at 9:00 a.m.

Where: Sharon Woods Park, starting at the boat dock area, off of the Kemper Road entrance, Cincinnati, Ohio 45241

Who: The race is open to runners and walkers and features the beautiful lakefront paved trail along the woods of this Hamilton County park. The 5K course will be USATF-sanctioned, and results will be posted online. The race begins at the boat dock area parking lot where race-day registration will be held. Food and refreshments will be available afterwards along with awards and door prizes.

Why an ostrich? The race logo is the ostrich, a bird known for hiding its head in the sand, symbolizing society's attitude toward sexual abuse. Our goal is to remove the taboo from sexual abuse, allowing this bird to raise its head in glory and race on to healing and wellness.

What’s most important? Net proceeds of the race go to foundations that help survivors of sexual abuse.

Best-dressed ostrich awards: Two awards consisting of hand-crafted ceramics, courtesy of survivors who were treated at Connections: A Safe Place, the only treatment center in Cincinnati for adult and teenager survivors of sexual abuse, will be given to a registered male and female (walker or runner) who wear the best ostrich costume.

The race flyer and entry form are now available and can be found on the website of Steve Prescott, race director. Prescott directs many local races and provides accurate timing as well as online registration.

Flyers will also be available at most running stores and at the businesses of our generous sponsors. Please support them! www.bashfulostrich5k.org.
