andi’s Race: A 5K Run/Walk for Hope and Courage in memory of Nancy Chavez’s beloved daughter, Randi Lee Trimble, who was murdered in East Pennsboro Township on January 10, 2003, by a hit man hired by her husband. Both men are now serving life terms with no chance of parole. This year marks the 17th anniversary of Randi’s death.
Since her daughter’s death Nancy Chavez has been an advocate for victims of domestic violence. She established Randi’s House of Angels (RHOA), a project of The Foundation for Enhancing Communities, that supports children who experience and/are victims of domestic violence.

Over $275,000 has been donated to domestic violence and crime victim agencies that support programs for children. More importantly, RHOA maintains therapeutic programs, including Randi’s Kidz Club, a ten-week therapeutic group for children ages 8-13; Randi’s Camp, a three-day interactive summer camp; and Randi’s Klubhouse, an interactive therapeutic group for children 5-7. To date more than 150 children have received services through RHOA.

Important Announcement About This Year’s Randi’s Race
As you may know, there is a lot of uncertainty about the spread of the COVID-19 and the future of our communities. We have made a difficult and yet the right decision to transition Randi’s Race: A 5k Run/Walk for Hope and Courage to a Virtual Race. We remain hopeful that the threat of COVID-19 will soon diminish and that we can responsibly return to our normal activities. However, public health and safety remain a top priority, and we plan to continue to follow the directives of CDC, national and local health authorities.
WHAT’S A ‘VIRTUAL RACE’? A virtual race is a race you can run or walk from the location of your choice. You can run, jog, or walk on the road, on a trail, on a treadmill, or on the track. You get to run your own race, at your own pace, and time it yourself! After the virtual race, participants post their times, be recognized on our race results page. More FAQs can be found here.
In addition to submitting your race time, we invite you to share photos on our Facebook Event Feed, or by tagging @Randis_Race on Twitter or @randishouseofangels on Instagram. We will provide you with the tools in order to post your results, share photos, etc. Please help us spread the word with others!
Good luck!
