Why is the race free?
At Run for God we have always had one goal. To reach lost people (specifically runners) with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The My Hope America 5K is not your normal race. Yes, we have a race. Yes, people come to run. Yes, we have a finish line. And yes, we have awards. But none of that is the focus. The race is simply a tool to get people to the event.
Once participants complete their race and catch their breath, we will ask them to turn their attention to the big screen. The lights will go out, and the voice of America’s pastor will come through the speakers. The voice will be that of the late Billy Graham. Billy Graham will be doing what he always did best. Simply pointing people to the love of Christ. The presentation our runners will take part in is nothing short of emotional and inspiring.
Because the race is not the focus, and because we do not want to create any barriers, Run for God has chosen to make this race FREE. Our hope and prayer is that you will share this race with everyone you know. Runners and walkers are welcome! You simply never know who needs to hear this simple yet profound message. Please make plans to join us this December!

How are the proceeds used?
Run for God is a Nonprofit Corporation. 100% of the proceeds from our races are used in one of two ways. When you register, you will be helping to take the name of Jesus to the running world through the "Who do you say that I AM?" ad campaign. We have seen hundreds of eternal decisions made in response to the campaign you are supporting! If you'd like to know more, please visit RunforGod.com. The second way you are helping is to keep the day-to-day operations of Run for God moving. Our revenue comes from books, t-shirts, donations, and races.
If you can't make it to race day, please consider being a Run for God financial supporter in lieu of your race entry!
Why do we wait for everyone to finish?
We get this question often, and we understand that some of you fast runners may be waiting a while before moving on. 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.”
