West Cobb FCA Running with Purpose Virtual 5k

Join us for the West Cobb FCA Running With Purpose Virtual 5K, supporting our mission to reach EVERY coach & athlete in 2026!  Every mile matters when it’s run with purpose! 

This 3.1 mile event unites runners, families, and communities across the country in support of our 2026 ministry goals. This isn’t just a race. It’s an opportunity to move your feet for something eternal — to help us continue sharing the hope of Jesus with high school coaches and athletes through the platform of sports.

 
Why We Run:  Sports have a unique way of opening doors and hearts. As a faith-funded missionary with Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA), we have seen firsthand how a simple conversation at practice, a devotional after a game, or a mission trip experience can change a life forever.

The funds raised through this virtual 5K will go directly towards supporting Kristin McLendon as she raises support to be fully funded in 2026 and continue the work God has laid out for her through FCA. Her goal is to raise $45,000 which includes her salary + ministry expenses (team snacks, Bibles, Bible Studies, Friday breakfast, scholarships, sponsorships, etcccc).

Thank you for helping us reach our goal to be fully funded for 2026 so we can continue to fulfill our mission:  To lead every coach and athlete into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ and His church. And vision:  To see the world transformed by Jesus Christ through the influence of coaches and athletes.

When you run, walk, or jog those 3.1 miles — you’re part of this mission!

Kristin is responsible for fundraising her salary and ministry expenses every year that allow her to walk out the calling she feels God has on her life through the ministry of FCA. Will you prayerfully consider a special year-end gift so that even more coaches and athletes will be transformed by relationships with Jesus Christ?

We are deeply thankful that God brought us together to see more people engaged, equipped and empowered to make disciples in 2025. Our prayer in this season is that you and your family enjoy the presence of our Savior and Lord throughout the coming year as we are excited for all that God has for us in 2026!
