Crossroads Runners
Saturdays 8:00 am
Whether you're a walker, just starting out to hit that first mile, or training for a 5k or more, join us at church for some fresh air. We'll meet and head out to conquer the route. We also appreciate cheerleaders to give high-fives and root us on!
See you there!
Upcoming races:
Parkie's 5k. We're going to celebrate Summer's Last Blast at the Parkie's 5k on Saturday, August 23, 2014. Strap on your running or walking shoes and join us. Or cheer us on. Or give us high fives. Or hold signs of encouragement. Or throw water balloons at us. Or blow a vuvuzela. If you want registration info, click here. We'll also be using this event to fulfill our Rainbow Covenant giving.
Afterwards, come back to the tent for a celebratory pancake breakfast! Free will donations will go towards various bands of the Rainbow Covenant.
