NEW YEAR'S 5K 10K

This run exists because of the community at the San Antonio Mennonite Church.

Every Sunday, SAMC gathers to receive and share the peace of Christ. Throughout the year, that same spirit is lived out through neighborhood programs, hospitality, service, discipleship, counseling, etc. This run is simply another expression of that mission.

Whether you're chasing a new distance, beginning a healthier lifestyle, recovering from a difficult season, or youre in the middle of one, we hope your reason for running connects with our reason for hosting.

At San Antonio Mennonite Church we often say:

"No action without prayer, and no prayer without action."

Running is a beautiful reminder of that truth. Every step requires intention. Every finish line begins with a decision to move forward.
