One Mile in Their Footsteps.
In the rural communities we serve, many children walk to school and clinic without shoes. For one morning, we run the way they walk: barefoot if you dare, laced up if you like.
Our 5K barefoot run is held in two places: Lindon, Utah, and Kukuom, Ghana, where the medical mission will take place. The Kukuom companion race runs November 27, 2027 at 7:00 AM, during the next mission, and it brings the entire community together.
- All ages and paces are welcome: walk it, jog it, race it
- Run barefoot on the grass, or keep your laces on and run in comfort
- Every dollar goes toward those in need in Ghana
