    This is the 15th Isaiah 40:31 Run hosted by the Upper School Student Council to raise funds for our gift to the school. In past years, we have been able to purchase a permanently mounted sound system for our gym, over 300 chairs and the racks for storing them, a portable stage, and a portable sound system for our Praise and Worship Team. This year, we would like to put our profits towards the purchase of a digital sign that would be located on our property next to Highway 421.

    All runners who enter either the certified 5K race or the 1-Mile Color Run will receive a t-shirt. Participants must register by April 1 to be guaranteed a t-shirt. After April 1, any additional t-shirts will only be available on race day on a first-come, first-served basis.
