From the Organizer
This is the 16th Isaiah 40:31 Run hosted by the Upper School Student Council to raise funds for our gift to the school. In past years, we have been able to purchase a permanently mounted sound system for our gym, over 300 chairs and the racks for storing them, a portable stage, and a portable sound system for our Praise and Worship Team. This year, we would like to put our profits towards the purchase of a digital sign that would be located on our property next to Highway 421.
All runners who enter either the certified 5K race or the 1-Mile Color Run will receive a t-shirt. Participants must register by April 1 to be guaranteed a t-shirt. After April 1, any additional t-shirts will only be available on race day on a first-come, first-served basis.
Course Descriptions
This 5K is a simple down and out 5K course that starts in the student parking lot and turns onto Erwin Chapel Road. Runners will turn around at the stop sign at Prospect Church Road and return to the start/finish line.
The 1-Mile Course includes several turns and is confined to the school campus.
The 100 yard races will be held on the soccer field.
