The Pastor Dash – Is Your Pastor Faster?

This year’s Run With Compassion 5K Run/Walk comes with an extra burst of fun – the Pastor Dash! We’re inviting pastors from local churches to go head-to-head in a lighthearted sprint to see who takes home the title of “Fastest Pastor.”

It’s a short race, but it’s sure to bring big laughs, friendly competition, and a great opportunity for our community to cheer on the leaders who inspire us every week.

Pastors – we need you on the starting line! Whether you’re a seasoned runner or just in it for the fun. Lace up, bring your church family to cheer you on, and let’s find out once and for all… Is Your Pastor Faster?

TO BE ASSURED OF A T-SHIRT, YOU MUST PRE-REGISTER by 12:00 noon on Friday 10/31/2026.
This guarantees that you get an awesome newly designed T-Shirt for your collection!!
