Alpha Run

Event Overview

The Alpha Run is a fundraising event to support the construction of the new “Alpha Building” at Sunrise Christian Academy. The Alpha Building will be constructed in phases and will include a theater, a gymnasium, and a tornado shelter to serve both our school and community. This exciting new building will showcase our students’ God-given gifts.

The Alpha Run includes:

• 5k race: A challenging yet enjoyable run.
• 1-mile fun run: A shorter distance for casual runners.
• 200-meter race: Specifically for the littles.
• Indoor pancake breakfast: A delicious meal for all participants.

This event takes place on Saturday, November 7, 2026, at the school campus in Bel Aire, KS. It will raise funds for the Alpha Building, while promoting local businesses, encouraging healthy lifestyles, and strengthening community connections.
