New Year's 5K • 10K 

This run exists because of the community at the San Antonio Mennonite Church. 

Every Sunday, SAMC gathers to receive and share the peace of Christ. Throughout the year, that same spirit is lived out through neighborhood programs, hospitality, service, discipleship, counseling, etc. This run is simply another expression of that mission.

Whether you're chasing a new distance, beginning a healthier lifestyle, recovering from a difficult season, or you’re in the middle of one, we hope your reason for running connects with our reason for hosting.

At San Antonio Mennonite Church we often say:

"No action without prayer, and no prayer without action."

Running is a beautiful reminder of that truth. Every step requires intention. Every finish line begins with a decision to move forward.

Timing

This event combines traditional race organization with Strava.

Each participant will record their run using the Strava app while following the marked course. Volunteers will also maintain manual timing and bib records throughout the event. After all runners have finished, results and overall standings will be posted, with awards presented to finishers.

Weather Policy

Texas weather can be unpredictable.

If dangerous weather requires postponement, participants will be notified and the event will move to a later date. Cold temperatures alone will not cancel the race—the church will be open with warm drinks and a cozy place to gather before and after your run.
