The John 3:17 Ministry in Newport invites you to join us on May 30, 2026, for our Second Annual Miles for Smiles Run female sign. At 3.17 miles, it offers just a bit more BITE than a traditional 5K (3.1 miles)!

All proceeds benefit the John 3:17 Ministry Dental Fund sparkles, helping provide much-needed dental care for the women in our program.

The route is a simple out-and-back course starting from the future John 3:17 transition house located on Highway 145 S in Newport.

Race-day registration opens at 8:00 a.m.
Race begins at 9:00 a.m.
Entry fee: $30 for ages 13 and older
Kids 12 & under: FREE (select Child 12 & Under Entry)

Awards will be given to the Top 3 overall finishers. As this is a charity run, weve kept awards simple so that as much of the proceeds as possible can go directly to supporting the women we serve.

John 3:17 Ministry provides free recovery services to residents and their families on 10 rural acres at the Church at Remmel Community for Christ. Our ministry offers faith-based training in a nurturing, non-denominational environment.

Your participation in events like this helps us continue to uplift and support these women.
