We have added a team competion this year based on participation. You can register as a church, community organization, or even as a corporation or workplace. When you register, look to see if anyone has created a team for your organization. If not, you can start a team and get others to join you! You will see the Team section as you register. Gather up all you can and there just may be a team award in your future!

The T-Shirt is made from a light, moisture-wicking material, perfect for the upcoming summer!

We get this question often, and we understand that some of you fast runners may be waiting a while before getting your award. But here at Run for God, we have decided that EVERYONE should experience that magical finish line experience no matter what their time may be. For this reason, we hope that you will hang around and help us cheer every runner in, and be inspired by those who just a short time ago were saying “I can’t” and are now saying “I did”.

100% of the proceeds from our races are used in one of two ways. The first is to keep the day-to-day operations of Run for God moving. Our revenue comes from books, t-shirts, sponsors, and races. We made the decision early on not to seek private donations of any kind to support this ministry. Another direct result of our race proceeds is to fund a race that we started hosting in November called the “My Hope America 5K” This race is offered to 2000 middle and high school kids as well as their families in Dalton, GA (the home of Run for God). This race is completely free to all in the community and the primary focus is to share the gospel of Christ through the My Hope America video by Dr. Billy Graham. Every runner gets the complete experience, from the race, to the timing, and the t-shirts. Once the race is finished, everyone sits down to hear Billy Graham do what he does best, share the gospel with a lost and dying world.

Sticky and Pinky have been known to show up at our events. You won't want to miss it if they do!

52 Week Study - 464 Page Hardback

Run for God - Devotions isn't your ordinary Bible Study. No, it’s a study that is made up of stories from people just like you and me, real stories from real people. These thoughts and experiences are brought to you from Pastors, Deacons, Sunday School teachers, New Christians, Old Christians, and even Christians who had lost their way for a time. So if you’re looking for a study that shows what God can do through someone just like you and me, then you’ve definitely come to the right place.

Whether you’re a new runner, a seasoned runner, a fast runner, or a slow runner, this study is for you. Each week we’ll take you through inspiring stories, scripture, running tips and tricks, as well as challenge you with thought-provoking questions to ponder. There are also training plans in the back that will cover any distance you desire. Use this for your personal devotion or grab a group of friends and start a small group, either way, you can’t go wrong. Enjoy!
