Mishawaka – Do you like donuts? Do you like run­ning or walk­ing around cam­pus? If so, sign up for the Rise ‘N Run 5k race tak­ing place on cam­pus on Sat­ur­day, Oc­to­ber 21^st at 9 a.m.! Every­one who par­tic­i­pates in the race will re­ceive a Rise ‘N Roll donut and a t-shirt to com­mem­o­rate their ex­pe­ri­ence. This is the sec­ond year Bethel is hav­ing this race af­ter a pos­i­tive re­sponse last year. The Rise ‘N Run race started as part of home­com­ing week­end and was an in­vi­ta­tion for alumni to come back and be part of a fun event on cam­pus. When the alumni of­fice planned the race, they knew alumni would be nos­tal­gic for the food they had while in col­lege, es­pe­cially Rise ‘N Roll donuts. Even though the race was started as a way to reach out to alumni, it is open for all stu­dents and staff to join. Rise ‘N Roll and Fleet Feet are both spon­sors this year, and the hope is that there will be a larger group run­ning the race this year. I spoke with Keith Koteskey, who has been en­thu­si­as­tic about donuts and the race, and he said his fa­vorite mo­ment of the race, “other than eat­ing a donut, which prob­a­bly was my fa­vorite, would be that at the end of the race I had an op­por­tu­nity to visit with a num­ber of Bethel grad­u­ates…it was re­ally a joy of re­con­nect­ing with them and hear­ing what they’re up to these days.”  

There will be a small fee of $10 for any­one who wants to par­tic­i­pate. If you would like to join the race, please see the TV screens in SG and around cam­pus to scan the QR code on the race’s poster!
