Peter's Run 5K and The Bryant Mile

Event Overview

"Peter's Run 5K Race & The Bryant Mile" is hosted by the Rose of Sharon Laymen's League in Bear Grass, NC. The 5K race will be for runners that enjoy the spirit of competition. We will recognize the winners in all age groups for both men and women. The date will be September 26, 2026. It will be professionally managed by Run The East.

The Bryant Mile

• Purpose: For those that would like to walk in support of the Project.
• In Memory: Named after and in memory of Pastor Bryant Hines who went to be with the Lord in 2017.
• Tradition: Participants will stop and eat a donut at the halfway point, honoring Pastor Hines' tradition.

Fundraising Goals

• Benefit: Profits will aid Project Empty Tomb, supporting the Bear Grass Charter School's Food Pantry and the Rodgers Elementary Book Bag Program.
• Community Impact: Aiming to expand help to others in need in the community.

Spiritual Reflection

Besides the fundraiser, the goal is also to draw attention to the tomb that Jesus left empty on that first Easter Sunday. Part of the event will be a short devotion praising God and acknowledging the fact that as Peter ran to that tomb on that first Easter he found it to be empty.
