The Races

Join us for our SECOND YEAR as we continue the legacy of Team Bernard Prince by running to inspire HOPE. Bernard shared his vision, “I want to put on a race to help people that are broken, that have been through trauma.” This event celebrates FAITH, DIVERSITY, and the resilience of ALL ABILITIES and ALL PEOPLE.

Choose your race:

● 5K Run / Walk / Roll

● 1 Mile Run / Walk / Roll

● Kids Fun Run / Walk / Roll

Worship Music

Enjoy live worship music at Centennial Plaza before, during, and after the races. The performances will feature talented local artists, led by Jay Secrest of Perry Christian Church, creating an uplifting and spiritual atmosphere throughout the event.

Baptism Opportunity

Following the race, we invite you to take part in an outdoor baptism. Inspired by Bernard’s favorite shirt, which read, “Heaven is my Home, I’m just Here Recruiting,” this unique experience reflects his dream of making baptism accessible to everyone who feels called to commit their life to Jesus.

The Backstory

Team Bernard Prince was born from a heartfelt conversation in 2022 during a Physical Therapy session. Bernard, battling Kugelberg Welander Syndrome, expressed his dream of becoming a runner and declared, “I’m going to run 10,000 miles as soon as I get to Heaven!” This inspiring story was featured on Cleveland’s Channel 5 News. Watch the 7-minute video that beautifully captures the origins of Team Bernard:
