Hearts For Missions 5K

🏃‍♂️ Race Overview

The Hearts for Missions 5K is being held on behalf of Chestnut Ridge Baptist Church’s Missions Group. The proceeds from this walk/run/race will go toward efforts that aid in providing resources for the following:

• Cleveland County Rescue Mission: Support for local individuals in need.
• Hurricane Relief: Assistance for areas affected by Hurricane Helene in Asheville, NC.
• Guatemala Missions: Resources for Colegio Innovando Sonadores and various orphanages and homes.
• Christmas at the Ridge: Helping vetted underprivileged children receive gifts for Christmas.

📖 Inspirational Message

In Apostle Paul’s first letter to the Corinthians, he addressed and spoke about several things. Two of which were “running a race” and “competing in the games”. For example:

1 Corinthians 9:24 Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize.

1 Corinthians 9:28 Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last, but we do it to get a crown that will last forever.

🏆 Awards and Recognition

Sure! In this 5K there will be prizes. HOWEVER, for the purpose of this 5K, it doesn’t matter if you’re first or last. WHY? Because the “PRIZE or CROWN” that you will receive for helping GOD’s people/children or potentially bringing someone to Jesus Christ will be eternal.

In Matthew 6:20-21 Jesus said, “20 But store up for yourselves treasure in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”

Unique handmade awards! Award Structure is as follows: Top 3 male and female overall, Top 3 male and female 9 and under, 10-14, 15-19, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, and 70 and over.

⏱️ Event Details
