Living the Dream 5K Race

Date: August 1st, 2025

Race Check-In & Entry Begins: 7:15 AM

Location: Talbert Business Development Area, Lake Norman, NC

Join us for the Second Annual Living the Dream 5K Race, a powerful community event honoring the life and legacy of Coach Ben Watson — a beloved national and state hall of fame wrestling coach, mentor, and passionate servant leader. Coach Watson made a lifelong impact through his involvement with the Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA) as a student, collegiate leader, and teacher advisor for over 30 years. He impacted hundreds of students as a teacher, wrestling coach, and FCA advisor.

This race is more than a run — it's a celebration of Coach Watson’s legacy and a rally to support the ongoing work of FCA in our local schools and sports communities. All proceeds will go toward expanding FCA’s ministry efforts in the Lake Norman area, including raising up new staff to meet the growing needs of our region.

Whether you're a competitive runner, casual jogger, or want to walk in support of the cause, we invite you to be part of something that makes an eternal impact.

Run with purpose. Live the dream. Honor the legacy.
