Race to Share the Gospel Around the World
Race to Share the Gospel Around the World is a faith-based race event in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, featuring a chip-timed 5K, a 1-mile fun run/walk, and virtual challenges. The in-person race occurs in May, while the virtual option allows 16 days to complete 13 miles through running, walking, biking, hiking, or swimming. A single registration covers up to three events, enabling participation in person, adding a virtual challenge, or supporting as a Cheerleader, also known as a Prayer Warrior. The event funds The Tide ministry’s efforts to share God’s Word, with this year’s proceeds supporting programming in Thailand and a fundraising target of $15,000. Both the 5K and 1-mile races include lunch, and the Family Fun Day is free. Children aged 6 and under participate in the 5K or 1-mile for free, those aged 7-16 receive a reduced fee, and student ministry sponsors have a lower-cost entry. The top student ministry group receives a pizza party, contributing to the day's church-youth-group atmosphere alongside its race focus.
