The Extra Mile 5k

The Extra Mile 5K at Maranatha Christian Academy invites the school community to come together on October 3, 2026, for an uplifting day of running, walking, and celebrating shared values. This annual event is more than just a race; it's a vibrant gathering where students, families, staff, alumni, and friends can connect and support one another.
Registration begins at 8:00 AM with check-in concluding at 8:50 AM, allowing participants ample time to get ready for the start of the 5K run at 9:00 AM. The race course winds through the scenic grounds of Maranatha Christian Academy, offering runners and walkers a chance to enjoy the natural beauty while fostering school spirit.
For younger members of the community, there's also a special Kids' Mile event starting at 10:15 AM after check-in from 9:30 AM to 10:00 AM. This fun-filled race provides an opportunity for children to experience the excitement and camaraderie of running in a supportive environment.
Awards will be presented shortly after both races conclude, recognizing participants' achievements with well-deserved accolades. The festivities continue throughout the day with the Family Fall Fest from 11:00 AM until 2:00 PM, featuring free games and activities for all ages. Food trucks and treats are available for purchase to keep everyone fueled up during the celebration.
Registration fees include race entry, a timing bib, and an official event t-shirt (sizes guaranteed through September 19, 2026). Join us at Maranatha Christian Academy on October 3rd as we come together to celebrate community and make every step count.
