Build N Run 5k & Fun Run

Join Highland Baptist Church in Florence, AL, on Saturday, April 26th at 8:30 am as we sponsor the Build N Run 5k and Fun Run. This race will benefit Sleep In Heavenly Peace. SHP is a volunteer organization that builds beds for kids who are sleeping on the floor. All proceeds will go to SHP to help them build beds so no child has to sleep on the floor. During this time, we will have a 5k and a fun run; the 5k will start at 8:30 am; please arrive by 8:00 am to get set for the race; the 5k will have an hour course limit. The fun run will start at 10:00 am and have a thirty-minute course limit. If participating in the 5k, you can run, walk, or ruck the race. We’re excited to offer the Rucking Division for this race. For those new to the concept, rucking involves walking or hiking with a weighted pack. The term comes from the military word “Rucksack,” meaning “Backpack". Please register for the run or walk division if you plan to walk.

Weight Requirements:

Over 150lb: 20lb dry weight
Under 150lb: 10lb dry weight

Weigh-ins will occur 30 minutes before the race start 

If racing is not your thing, you can volunteer for our bed build that will happen simultaneously with our 5k and Fun Run. You can register for that via this link: https://highlandbaptist.churchcenter.com/registrations/events/2837413
