Run With Purpose 5K

Join us for our 2nd Annual Run with Purpose (walk/run) 5K hosted by Gum Springs Baptist Church, as we come together to support our Youth Camp ministry, that is soon approaching its 5th year.

Inspired by Hebrews 12:1-2, this event is about more than miles- it’s about running the race that is set before us. This race reflects our desire to run with purpose and faithfully complete the task God has given us. All proceeds from this event will directly support youth camp expenses.

From the very first year, GSBC Youth Camp has been free. This has been made possible through the generosity of anonymous donors. Their faithful support has allowed finances to never be a barrier for a child to experience camp. By His grace, our camp continues to grow and this year to support that growth we are hosting a fundraising 5K. Our hope with Run with Purpose 5K is that we will continue the mission of raising funds that directly cover the real, practical costs to give a meaningful and safe camp experience for the youth. For many children, this youth camp is more than just a couple of days away from home- it’s a place where walls come down, friendships are formed, and faith blooms. Last year we raised over $11,000 with the help of our sponsors, donators & race registrations & we hope to raise even more this year!

This family-friendly 5K is open to runners and walkers of all ages and abilities. Whether you’re racing for a personal best or walking with family and friends, your participation helps to invest in the next generation of believers.

Join us for a morning of fellowship, encouragement, and purpose as we run together for something greater.
