Join us for the 3rd Annual First Step 5K and 1-Mile Fun Run/Walk & 5K Ruck, hosted by Haven at Blue Creek on our beautiful grounds in Grimesland, NC on April 4, 2026.
The First Step 5K is more than a race — it’s a powerful morning where our community comes together to support women taking brave steps toward recovery. All proceeds benefit Haven at Blue Creek, a Women's Rehabilitation Center committed to providing a safe and nurturing environment for women overcoming addiction.
Join us for post-race refreshments and a joyful, family-friendly atmosphere.
The course is a cross country style course (gravel road/grass) and includes running across the property’s Berm. Strollers are welcome for the 1-mile fun run but we do not recommend for the 5k. Dogs on leashes are welcome.

"Peter's Run 5K Race & The Bryant Mile" is hosted by the Rose of Sharon Laymen's League in Bear Grass NC. The 5K race will be for runners that enjoy the spirit of competition. We will recognize the winners in all age groups for both men and women. The date will be September 27, 2025. It will be professionally managed by Run The East.
The Bryant Mile will be for those that would like to walk in support of the Project. It is named after and in memory of Pastor Bryant Hines who went to be with the Lord in 2017. Pastor loved to take his church members on field trips and always found a way to end those trips with a quick stop at Krispy Kreme. We will take note of this habit during the walk as the participants will stop and eat a donut at the halfway point.
This is a fundraiser whose profit will go to aid Project Empty Tomb which help meet the needs each year for the Bear Grass Charter School's Food Pantry and the Rodgers Elementary Book Bag Program. It's also our hope that the success of this fundraiser will enable us to expand to helping others in need in our community.
Besides the fundraiser, the goal is also to draw attention to the tomb that Jesus left empty on that first Easter Sunday. Part of the event will be a short devotion praising God and acknowledging the fact that as Peter ran to that tomb on that first Easter he found it to be empty.
