5th Annual
'Run for the Widows & Orphans 5K' -- Two 5K Routes: Road or Trail.
Saturday, Sept. 19, 2026
5K -- 9:00am
Looking for FUN and a bit of ADVENTURE??! Well, look no further!
Our 5th Annual "Run For The Widows and Orphans 5K" will take place on the property of the founder of 'All For His Glory Ministries.'
Come out to this picturesque property--just outside of Rockmart--for a trail run that is chocked full of fun for the entire family.
THIS YEAR, WE ARE AGAIN PROVIDING TWO (2) ROUTE OPTIONS: a) traditional ROAD 5K, or b) a TRAIL 5K--while a bit more challenging, this beautiful course has been created by cutting wide swaths of grassy paths for the runners to meander through. These trails have been strategically-carved out to ensure a fun, family oriented end of summer run. Come see what it's all about.
100% of the funds received will go to building homes and providing meals for widows and orphans with our partner Manna Ministries in Kisumu, Kenya.
LOCATION: 1091 Zuker Rd. Rockmart, GA 30153
