Nashville Presbyterians Run/Walk
“Half for the Hungry”

Long time runner and Presbyterian elder Jim Dickson wanted to do something to help feed the hungry. His idea? Do something for those in need while doing something to help oneself. With that was born “Half for the Hungry”. Participants register for the Music City Half Marathon, train together and then give a donation equal to their registration fee. The donation goes toward the Wednesday luncheon program which feeds the homeless at the Downtown Presbyterian Church. On the night before race day, April 28, the group of twentyfive runners and walkers will gather for a pre-race pasta dinner where they will present a check to the pastor of DPC, Ken Locke. Jim Dickson says, “most of the participants are people who never dreamed they could go out and run/walk 13.1 miles, but they do!” And they are more fit and the hungry are fed because of it.
