5k Fun Run Run

The 18th Annual Barnes Drug Store 5K Fun Run & Splash Dash will take place on July 18, 2026 at 200 South Patterson St. Valdosta, GA 31601.

All proceeds and donations will be matched dollar-for-dollar up to $100,000, and all funds raised and matched will benefit Sandy's House, a local organization that holds a 12 month residential faith based program. They are located in Valdosta, Georgia, and the program is set up for women ages 18 and older who are suffering from addiction. They opened their doors on March 21, 2022 and have served women broken from alcohol and drug addiction by providing housing, education, and spiritual training to enable women to rediscover who they are in Christ.

Since 2009, Barnes Drug Store has raised and donated over $1 Million for our community through our annual 5k event. Thanks to the support of our community partners, we raised over $600,000 in 2025 for Evans Memorial Camp.

Every year, this event and donations are made possible by the incredible companies, organizations, and individuals in our community who provide valuable support to our mission. We hope you will join us in our efforts to raise and donate $100,000.00 for Sandy's House in 2026.

Register for $30 before June 30th to get a t-shirt. All registrations after June 30th (including day of registrations) will not include a t-shirt.

    The Water for Life Race exists to raise awareness and support for clean water initiatives serving the unreached Pokot Tribe of Northern Uganda, where access to safe water is virtually non-existent. 100% of all proceeds go toward new wells, solar wells, educational buildings, community resources, and our continual missions to disciple.

    Join us in Valdosta for a family-friendly community event at the Water for Life 5K & 1-Mile Fun Run, where individuals and families run, walk, carry water, and stand together for those who currently can’t. Drexel ParkEvery step brings physical water and lasting hope, leading to the Living Water—Jesus.

    Clean Water: A Doorway to the Unreached?

    Nearly 3.2 billion people—almost 40% of the world’s population—have little to no access to the gospel, including up to 2 billion who have never heard it even once. These same regions often lack clean water, contributing to nearly 1,000 child deaths each day.

    In 2024, the Lord opened a door for LifeBridge Missions to reach the unreached Pokot Tribe, where less than 2% are Christians. Through four life-changing wells, over 4,000 lives have been impacted and around 700 have come to Christ, with unity, trust, and transformation taking root—including the start of a school as water no longer consumes their day.

    The Lord has placed a clear call on our hearts to see the Pokot Tribe come to Christ, be discipled, and reach nearby unreached tribes. We invite you to partner with the vision God has given us.

    Together, you, your family, and our community are transforming another community, an entire tribe for Jesus. Take your step today-register, donate, volunteer! We can't wait to see you there

    Since 1973, Break Bread Together, a mission of First Presbyterian Church of Valdosta, has served some of the most vulnerable members of our community — elderly individuals who are homebound and unable to prepare meals or access local soup kitchens.

    Monday through Friday, we deliver hot, nutritious meals to 35 seniors who are over the age of 65, living on no more than $1,287 a month, and without anyone to care for them. These meals provide more than just nourishment — for many, our volunteers are their only source of human contact. Studies have shown that seniors who are able to remain in their homes with support live longer, healthier, and more fulfilling lives. But the need is growing.

    If you are interested in sponsoring a senior, please notify us at bunrunorganizer@yahoo.com
