🏥 About the Race

New Salem Baptist Church (NSBC) and the Active Faith Ministry would like to welcome you to join our 3rd annual Spring Into Service 5K event! This year's 5K event will be in support of Carver Road Baptist Church (CRBC) and their Rebuilding for Recovery (R4R) Initiative! Both New Salem Baptist Church and Carver Road Baptist churches are located in Griffin and have many community service opportunities throughout the city of Griffin. New Salem's Active Faith Ministry is honored to have the opportunity to bring the community together to share the Gospel of Jesus and to support a local sister church in their efforts to rebuild and renovate their facilities to further their community outreach and support of the Celebrate Recovery ministry in Griffin. The R4R initiative will be raising funds for rebuilding and renovating mission building space at Carver Road Baptist church to be utilized for multiple community outreach opportunities.

🏅 Race Details

This event will be a 5k distance (3.1 miles). As we are wanting every dollar possible to go directly to the R4R initiative, this race will not be chip-timed. We will have a horn start and a timing crew recording all finishers' times and race results. We will have an age group award ceremony and winners will receive a medal. All registrants will receive a race T-shirt designed and printed by J-Max graphics (be sure to sign up by the shirt deadline to guarantee a shirt), race bib, course support, and post race hot breakfast. Breakfast will be lovingly donated and prepared by New Salem Baptist Church!

👮‍♂️ Safety and Support

Having a fun and safe race is a priority. We will have support from Griffin PD and New Salem Baptist / Carver Road Baptist church volunteers. The course will be well marked and volunteers will be along the route to cheer you on and make sure you know where all the turns are located. There will be one water station about halfway through the course. We will warm up all the walkers/runners with sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ, prayer, opening remarks/instructions, and praise music starting at 7:30 AM. Race starts at 8:00 AM sharp. Runners, walkers, and strollers are welcome!
