2022 RUN, WALK OR ROLL 5K

Hurricane Ian Update for 9/29/22

Due to the high risk of impact from Hurricane Ian and the anticipated rain/wind that will accompany it, we have made the decision to postpone the race. The health and safety of our participants is our highest priority, and we want to make sure the event is both fun and safe for all participants, including those that are most at risk. With that in mind, the NEW date is 11/05/2022, and with your registration you have the following options:

- Join us on the new date on 11/05/2022, 7am registration/ 8am start at FBCW. If you choose this, no action is needed as this is the default option.

- Join us virtually and show your support from anywhere! Please tag us on Facebook or Instagram, hashtag #runwalkorroll5k, and show your team support!

If you choose to go virtual, please refer to the instructions below and let us know no later than Friday, 10/21 by sending an email to marketing@nextstepministries.net

Pre packet pickup will now be available at Big Peach Running Co in Kennesaw from 5-7pm on Friday 11/4/22. Or, if you are not joining us live on the new date and would like to pick up your shirt, you will also be able to pick them up at our main building following the event.
