As you know, this race is a special family tradition for many of our participants on Easter weekend. We are so disappointed that our 10th event will have to wait, but we trust that none of this surprises our Lord. While many churches have cancelled services, you are invited to join Pole Creek Baptist Church on-line to view our services in the coming weeks.

Kids 1K Fun Run

The Kids 1K is FREE. However - we do ask that each child be registered online or onsite. T-shirts are available for purchase.

The Kids 1K gives children age 6 and up a taste of the Carry Your Cross 5K in that the children will run down and back up the final leg of the 5K course but do not have to carry a cross unless they choose one.

Parents be advised that this 1K course does take children onto a road that is not closed to traffic; however, it is a VERY low traffic side street and course marshals will be present to help direct runners. You are welcome to run this with your child.

Medals will be given to the top 3 male and female runners in this Fun Run.

You will still have to check in on race day to get a name tag for your child if you plan on using the free child care during the 5K.
