Glow the Distance 5k for MATS

Get ready to light up the night! Our 8:00 PM Glow the Distance 5K is packed with color, lights, and energy. Wear your best glow-in-the-dark or neon gear, and stop by our glow table to grab fun glow items for sale. This year’s course takes you straight down Main Street and through Downtown Morristown for an unforgettable nighttime run. The route is well-marked, family-friendly, and fully chip-timed by We Run Events.

All proceeds from this event support the Ministerial Association Temporary Shelter (MATS). We serve homeless men, women, and children in Hamblen County and eleven surrounding counties, helping individuals overcome the root causes of homelessness through job readiness training, budgeting skills, home management education, sustainable employment, and long-term housing.

We also operate a free Warming Station during the winter months. All of our services are offered at no cost, and we rely on generous community support to cover essential expenses.

By joining our glow-filled 5K, you are helping change lives and supporting a brighter future for those in need. Thank you for being part of this mission!
