Run for God's 5K Challenge is a 12-week Bible study program that allows runners to combine faith and endurance training in a way that helps take people, even those who have never run, through their first 5K. Results, among others, include increased faith and new and deepened friendships.

What participants of the 5K Challenge class have said:

• When I first joined the group, I just wanted to be active and I really had no intention of actually running a 5K until the 2nd or 3rd class. The program has done a good job of lifting me up spiritually as well as physically. 
  
• If I've learned anything these last 12 weeks it is commitment and perseverance along with dedication. It is also for me to be able to take care of and connect emotionally with others. Taking care of myself will be beneficial for the future, and as a single mom a help in taking care of others. 
  
• It's made a difference in my life. 
• This class filled a long-time void I had been feeling due to not being part of a small group. Now I feel connected and fulfilled!
• Sharing our testimonies was a highlight of this class for me. It gave me the encouragement and confidence I needed to feel comfortable sharing it with others.
  
• God gave me the courage to break out of my comfort zone and become a leader at the perfect time in my life.
