Organiser's description

Join us for the second annual Miles for Missions 5K, 10K, and 1 Mile Fun Run as we raise money for our church mission trip. This year we will be raising money to go assist the Hampton family in Missoula, Montana as they continue to spread the news of Jesus in the Northwest. All proceeds will go towards our church family that will be traveling to Montana again this summer! While in Montana we will be assisting with spring clean up, hosting community activities, sharing our personal testimonies with the members of Summit Church, and leading them in worship. If you would like to donate any extra funds, we would greatly appreciate it. Thank you for your interest in our race!

The race will begin in Red Bay, AL on 3rd Street W, right next to the post office. From there we will head over to backstreet, and down into the Gober Drive subdivision for the highest climb of the race (in honor of the Mount Sentinel M Trail). After making your way back out to backstreet, we will circle Red Bay High School before the 5K runners end back at the park next to the post office. 10K runners will turn next to Red Bay First Baptist Church and head down to the Hospital Road for a full loop around Red Bay.

Our fun run will begin after the 5K and 10K end, and it will circle our main street area. For any questions about our race, please shoot us an email to [email protected]
