Isaiah 40:31 Run

Isaiah 40:31 Run takes place in Erwin, North Carolina, on Saturday, April 17, 2027, with three formats spread across the late morning. The 5K (3.1 miles) starts at 10:00 a.m., a 1-mile color run follows at 11:30 a.m., and a 100-yard dash closes things out at noon. The staggered schedule means one family can enter several events without anyone having to choose.

The 5K is the only competitive distance here; the mile and the dash are built for fun and for children. If you plan to race the 5K, note the unusually late start and eat accordingly, treating it more like a midday race than a dawn one. Preparation is simple: three runs a week for a month or two is plenty, and adding a weekly set of strides will sharpen your finishing speed without adding fatigue.
