Organiser's Description
Join Highland Baptist Church in Florence, AL, on Saturday, April 26th at 8:30 am as we sponsor the Build N Run 5k and Fun Run. This race will benefit Sleep In Heavenly Peace. SHP is a volunteer organization that builds beds for kids who are sleeping on the floor. All proceeds will go to SHP to help them build beds so no child has to sleep on the floor. During this time, we will have a 5k and a fun run; the 5k will start at 8:30 am; please arrive by 8:00 am to get set for the race; the 5k will have an hour course limit. The fun run will start at 10:00 am and have a thirty-minute course limit. If participating in the 5k, you can run, walk, or ruck the race. Were excited to offer the Rucking Division for this race. For those new to the concept, rucking involves walking or hiking with a weighted pack. The term comes from the military word Rucksack, meaning Backpack". PLEASE REGISTER FOR THE RUN OR WALK DIVISION IF YOU PLAN TO WALK.
