We’ve got you covered with pizza, popcorn, water, and Gatorade, but feel free to bring your favorite snacks too! We will start serving Pizza at 7 PM with the movie starting at 7:30 PM
The movie and pizza will be inside the First Christian church, and we will have folding chairs but make yourself more comfortable by bringing blankets, lawn chairs, or pillows.
Come and enjoy a summer evening with fellow runners and friends. We can't wait to see you there!
