Race Information

Join IDES on for IDES Annual 5K Run/Walk for Hunger!

IDES works with mission partners worldwide in the aftermath of floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, tsunamis, typhoons, fire, earthquakes, volcanoes, drought, and other natural and manmade disasters like civil wars that create the flight of refugees. They reach out through their partners to show the love of Jesus by sharing water, food, shelter, and the gospel of Jesus Christ. Their mission is to share Help and Hope to the world!

So lace up your running shoes and join in! If you can't join in person, you can run it virtually! Whether you are a trained runner or just an occasional walker around the block, you can help raise money for hungry people around the world.
