Organiser's Description
RISE AND SHINE 5K RUN/WALK
DATE: April 4, 2026
LOCATION: Meadow Ridge Metro Park - South Entrance
ABOUT THE RACE:
Rise and Shine 5K Run/Walk Fundraiser is more than a race but will be an experience for runners to run with a purpose. The day before Easter was chosen specifically so that Christ can be glorified and the gospel can be shared. Rise and Shine will start and end with prayer and offer for those desiring, a biblical message on the resurrected Jesus. We will have a 200 meter dash for children 10 and under after the 5K. We would like to serve a meal that brings ones mind to think about The Last Supper. We will supply drinks in a small boat that we will label Peters boat but instead of fish, it will be filled with drinks! Luke 5:1-11 Our vision goes much deeper than our building repairs, but that God has no boundaries, and we can share the word of God anywhere.
Food, drinks and music following 5K until roughly 11:00 to 2:00 (food will be ready for runners after the race - no need to wait until after awards)
There will be tables set up for information on our sponsors, church and our church ministries. We will have a large box for people to donate non-perishables to our community food pantry ministry.
