If you are able to organize a group run/walk in your locality, please contact Molly Martens at molly.martens@ohioguidestone.org so that we can publicize your group's meeting place for more potential participants to join you.

Please note that you will not receive a bib for signing up for a virtual run/walk, but your run bag with your Promise Run t-shirt may be available for pick-up at one of our regional offices or can be shipped to you for an additional cost.
