What is the Run to Resurrection, anyway?
The Run to Resurrection is a fun and inspirational run through some of the idyllic, real America residential streets of North Canton. The run is punctuated by the seven sentences Christ spoke on the Cross and is sponsored by Faith United Methodist Church of North Canton.
Why the Run to Resurrection?
Whether this run is to train for another race, personal benefit or worship, what could you do with the Saturday morning before Easter that would be better for you and the Lord? Get up early, get a good run in and experience Easter like you’ve never experienced it before. The early morning air will make you think of the morning the stone was rolled from the grave of Christ. You’ll experience the Word of God like never before as you see all seven sentences uttered by Jesus on the Cross over your 5K run. And all the while you’ll be doing good for others as your gift of canned goods or money will be used to further God’s work.
How long of a run is it?
5K or 3.1 miles
