Health is wealth. What started out as an invitation for Church members to join Pastor Mike in a 10k run, has turned into an annual community FAMILY FUN event focused on togetherness, health, education, food, and fun! Come join us as we walk/run to improve our health and get information, free giveaways, blood pressure checks and more from our vendors. Any profit will be used towards renovation for re-opening of the Northwest Indiana Friendship House.
Children of all ages are welcome! We have an entire staff to supervise and entertain your children with outdoor games, balloon expressions, and face painting during and after your walk/run at no cost to you. Please note, if your child (10+) wants to participate in the walk/run, there will be a small registration cost to cover those expenses.
A light breakfast and brunch can also be enjoyed at no cost.
JOIN THE FUN - BLESS YOUR PASTOR!
Join the Fun! We are blessing the PASTOR of the Church with the most people in attendance with a $150 gift card. Participation in Join the Fun is free; however, every adult and every child must register to let us know you are attending. If registering for the Race, please do not register for Join the Fun (you will still be counted). NOTE: your participation will not be counted if you are not in attendance.
