Donkey Dash 5K & Fun Run

Get off your donkey and dash to help us “Do Good Stuff”

All proceeds and donations will help to support the missions of the DUH!SCIPLES youth ministry and Epworth UMC

The DUH!SCIPLES youth ministry of Epworth UMC in Concord are a tight-knit community of students who are learning what it means to follow Jesus and how to do life together.  The DUH!SCIPLES have adopted the battle cry of "Do Good Stuff" as they find ways to put themselves out there for their neighbors and take care of each other with no strings attached.  These students are learning about servant leadership which gives them the confidence and compassion to live out their faith in their everyday lives.

This summer, the DUH!SCIPLES (and their brave adult chaperones) will be spending a week in Asheville, partnering with Cross Connection and the Haywood St. congregation.  During the week, students will have the opportunity to serve with those who are without homes or marginalized in the community while breaking down stereotypes and barriers to develop genuine and deep relationships.

The DUH!SCIPLES will also be tackling another year of Backyard Mission Camp.  BMC allows the students to "Do Good Stuff" right in their own backyard. Students engage in service, learn about local resources and gain the tools and skills that will help to create a generation of confident, compassionate servants who will take care of the people around them.  Check out the Backyard Mission Camp website to learn more about all the good stuff.

At their core, the DUH!SCIPLES are a big group of goofballs who enjoy being silly, having fun and celebrating everything!  Whether you are a race participant or cheering in support, jump on the goofball bandwagon and feel free to wear your best costume or goofy outfit (inflatable costumes are always welcome and encouraged!)

1 mile Fun Run starts at 8:30am, 5K will begin at 9:00am.  Race will be rain or shine.

Awards will be given for the top 3 finishers for each group (adults, students and fun run participants).  Registration includes participation medal, t-shirt and post-race refreshments.  Register by April 19th to be guaranteed a t-shirt.
