Labor of Love Run
Labor Day morning, 2009 marked the 25th Anniversary for one of Northeast Ohio’s premier running events—the Labor of Love Run. Well over one thousand runners made their way over the five-mile and one-mile courses for the benefit of Akron Pregnancy Services.
It was fantastic to see over four hundred Chapel volunteers mobilized to bless in excess of three thousand from our cities. This year’s race was more than just a runner-friendly event—it included a fun-packed Family Celebration. Read more.
