From the Organizer
The ECMen-Tim Rigby Faith Run was created to support the developing ministry of ECMen and to honor Tim Rigby. Tim has endured several health difficulties in the past several years including two kidney transplants and Anaplastic Lymphoma. He continues to strive to maintain his health after his kidney transplant as of December 2021. He has been an example of a godly man and a pillar in the Johnstown community.
This will be a beautiful, flat course through Ferndale Borough finishing up on the Jim Mayer Riverwalk Trail. There are two 5k options, walk and run. If you wish to support ECMen without competition, a casual 1 mile walk is also available. Medals will be given to all runners and competitive walkers that finish the race. Prizes will be provided for the top 3 male and and top 3 female runners and the top 3 competitive walkers overall. A performance shirt is provided for all paid registrants that have registered by August 28th, 2026. Kids can come and enjoy a bounce house.
A pancake and sausage breakfast is free to all participants after the race.
Everyday Christian Men is a new ministry in the Johnstown area founded by Matt Lushko. ECMen exists so every man would strive to grow their faith, know their purpose, and live every day for Christ. The ministry of ECMen strives to build and encourage godly men who can support each other, serve their families and influence the communities around them.
