For the first 13 years, Nun Run 5K was held at our residence. But COVID-19 was cruel. In March and April, 2020 there were a number of deaths among the 78 residents. With prayer and assistance of volunteers and the local hospital, there were no further casualties. Community support is appreciated.
The 2020-22 Nun Run 5k’s were held off-site, to protect residents and staff. We are grateful to “Move 2 IncluDE” and it’s founder Steve Sinko for bringing their chairs to the residents so that they and the Sisters could find a way to participate!
Since 2023, the event has returned to the Jeanne Jugan Residence and residents continue to enjoy being pushed in the 5K.
Move 2 IncluDE is a non-profit organization that provides adaptive running chairs at local races to individuals that may not be able to otherwise participate cross the finish line.
