Taking Holy Steps 2024

"Taking Holy Steps" 5K to Benefit Habitat For Humanity & CUMC Virtual 5K Run/Walk

July 22 - 29, 2024
Run/Walk Entry Fee: $30 (per person)


We are absolutely thrilled to be partnering with Habitat For Humanity for our first ever
"Taking Holy Steps" virtual 5K Run/walk.

Whether you prefer to run or walk, you can be a part of this amazing experience and receive a fantastic "Taking Holy Steps" Run/Walk Bib to commemorate your participation. You will receive a link to download your bib after you register so that you may print it and wear it (if you want to) during your participation. We suggest laminating it to protect your bib.

As a benefit for participating in this year’s virtual 5k fundraiser, you will receive a pair of Habitat sunglasses!  Pick them up at Christ United Methodist Church during business hours July 22nd -29th.  You can get them while you’re out for your run/walk, before you begin, or once you’ve finished as your prize for ‘crossing the finish line.'

50% of the race registration fees will be donated to Habitat For Humanity and 50% will go to Christ United Methodist Church. Habitat For Humanity has many wonderful projects that deserve yours and our support.  Their Mission Statement is "Seeking to put God's Love into action; Habitat For Humanity brings people together to build homes, communities and hope."   If you'd like learn more about Habitat For Humanity  click here.   Along with the amazing Christ-based learning opportunities and community support programs and events at CUMC, this virtual race is an experience worthy of your time and money.
