Running for your health is good.  Running for a worthy cause is even better.  Panera bread is presenting three upcoming race venues, the proceeds of which will benefit local food banks.  All three venues will feature a 10K run, a 5K run/walk, and a free kids’ fun run for the 12 and under crowd.

In Colorado, choose either the Colorado Springs Panerathon on Saturday, August 3 or the Denver/Westminster Panerathon on Sunday, September 22.  Or if you reside in the Midwest, choose the Cincinnati, Ohio Panerathon, also on September 22.

Since we’re such huge fans of the Panera menu, we think the best part of these events is that they’ll feature finish line parties where fresh Panera Bread pastries, bagels and sandwiches will be served.

Register for one of these Panerathons now and help run hunger out of town.
