Run for Missions 2023

Starts Sunday March 26th, 2023

Franklin, TN

Official Website

Description

This is the SEVENTH year of the revived Franklin FUMC Run for Missions. If you've been around Franklin for decades, you may remember our church's run back in the 1990s. Since then, our church has moved our main campus to Mack Hatcher and Franklin Road with enough land for an entire 5K race on the church property.

Come ready for a fun afternoon of running or walking around our more than 100 acres, music by the Grateful Bluegrass Band, and homemade baked goods for prizes! A half mile of the course is on a grass horse track, so expect a little grass on your running shoes. 

The missions committee at FUMC helps determine where the proceeds of the race will go according to current needs each year. This year we will donate our proceeds to Project Transformation Tennessee, a non profit organization based in Nashville that strives to improve children's literacy, social-emotional, and spiritual development through participating in high-quality, out-of-school time programs led by  young adult interns and hosted by local Methodist church.
