What is Nun Run?
The Nun Run is the annual fundraiser for the Poor Clares of Perpetual Adoration of Sancta Clara Monastery in Canton, OH. We wanted to make it both family-friendly and open to competitors of all ages and types. With the funds raised, we hope to be able to build a much needed new infirmary wing for our elderly sisters along with some other building upkeep including the rebuilding of parts of our enclosure wall. We thank all of you for helping to make this possible.
