About the Event

Start the New Year Running with Perseverance!

Join us for Abundant Grace Learning Academy's 4th Annual 5K Run/Walk - "Run with Perseverance," inspired by Hebrews 12:1

As we begin a New Year, we are reminded that God calls us to keep moving forward with faith, perseverance, and purpose. Every race begins with a first step, and every great goal is accomplished by continuing to take one step at a time. Our playground improvement project is a big dream and a significant expense, but we believe that with God's provision and the support of our community, we can continue moving towards the finish line. Proceeds from this 5K will help us continue improving our playground and creating a safe, joyful outdoor space where our children can play, learn, grow, and make memories. This 5k is about more than crossing a finish line. It is about coming together, encouraging one another, supporting our children, and starting the new year with our hearts, focus on the race God has placed before us. Whether you are an experience run, a walker, a family, or simply someone who wants to support our mission, there is a place for you at the starting line. Come run with us, run with faith, Run with purpose, run with perseverance. And with every step help us move one step closer to completing our playground for our little ones.

Hebrews 12:1 - Let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us.
