For those who may not be ready for the 5K or prefer something family-friendly, were excited to offer a special HALF-MILE KIDS RUN. This .5-mile run will take place entirely around the church property, creating a safe and supportive environment for our youngest runners. Parents are welcome to cheer along the route or run alongside their child.
