  Race Times:

  The Flamingo Fun Run starts at 5:30pm and the 5k starts at 6:30pm.

  Will the event be timed?

  We are excited to have Michiana Timing helping us again this year! The 5k route will be chip timed (excluding in-person sign ups on race day). The Flamingo Fun Run will not be timed, however, fun runners will receive a race bib.

  What Is a virtual run?

  A virtual race essentially means registered racers have from now until May 1 to choose a day to run or walk their own fun run or 5k route. This is a great way to spend some time outside while at home! The beauty behind a virtual race is that YOU can choose the location of which you will run or walk! Simply map out a mile or 5K route and get to walking or running. You choose the time and the place! Virtual runners will receive a shirt as long as they register on or before April 8 by 11:59PM. This event will not be timed. You may time your own virtual experience.

  Packet pick-up info:

  Wednesday, April 29th from 5PM - 7PM at Compassionate Heart Ministries (404 Centerstone Court, Zeeland, MI 49464). This is for any registered participant to pick up race stuff! *If you are participating in one of our virtual events, this is the day to stop by and grab your shirt! (We will not ship) Race day check-in begins at 4:30PM (another chance to grab packet). Any unclaimed packets will be donated after race.

  Do I get a shirt?

  Yes! If you sign up on or before April 1st you will receive a shirt. :) Register by April 1st by 11:59PM to guarantee your race shirt. Participants that register after April 1st are not guaranteed a shirt, as our supply will be limited. Our race shirts are short sleeve, wicking shirts.

  What are the age group divisions?

  The 5K age divisions are: 1-6, 7-10, 11-14, 15-19, 20-24, 25-29, 30-34, 35-39, 40-44, 45-49, 50-54, 55-59, 60-64, 65-69, 70-74. Each age group will be separated into male & female.

  Are pets allowed on the course?

  No. For the safety of all runners & walkers, we ask that you do not bring your dog(s) or other pet(s).

  Is the route USATF certified?

  No. We have done our best to map out a 3.1 mile 5k route and a 1.1 mile fun run route; however, it might not be exact.

  Oops! I selected the wrong race route OR t-shirt size! Can I change it?

  Yes! Simply email michelle@compheart.org with your change request before April 1st at 11:59PM.

  Join us for year #2!

  We are so excited to invite you back as we celebrate the end of our month-long fundraiser to help fund our Refuge on the Rock orphanage in Guatemala!

  About Us:

  Paradise Bound Ministries began working in Guatemala in 1997, and we are privileged to serve alongside local Guatemalan people who are passionate about reaching Guatemala for Christ. Together, we’ve developed several village outreach opportunities that all point people to Jesus!

  All funds raised from this race will go directly to support "Refuge on the Rock" (previously named Open Doors Orphanage). Refuge on the Rock welcomed it’s first child in 2011. Since then, more than 150 vulnerable children have found safe refuge inside its walls. Our dedicated staff pours into these little ones to provide the highest quality care and the love, tenderness, and respect every child deserves.
