On Saturday, Sept. 29, 2007, 175 runners and walkers headed to White Rock Lake for the Run for Shelter, benefiting the Austin Street Centre.

Many who were not inclined to lace 'em up and join the race made a registration donation. In fact, more than 300 people registered for the event, with each race entry generating enough revenue to house, feed, shower and give clothing to a person for two nights.

It was further proof that you can run, but you can't hide from homelessness.

Top finishers received awards, all participants got a t-shirt, and more than $11,000 was raised for Austin Street Centre.
