Warthog Waddle 5K to benefit African women, orphans | Sports & Recreation

ROSWELL, Ga. -- The annual Warthog Waddle 5K Run/Walk will return to Roswell in March.

This run -- on a flat, fast course through a north Fulton neighborhood -- raises money for Wiphan Care Ministries, a charity that aids African women and orphans. The Wiphan Marketplace will be open before and after the race; runners have the option of purchasing books, T-shirts, African jewelry and more, with all proceeds going directly to the charity.

Runners will also receive T-shirts for participating in the race.

The run will begin at 8 a.m. on Saturday, March 3 at Fellowship Bible Church. The cost for the 5K is $25 before February 26 and $30 after; the 1K is $15 until February 26 and $20 after.
