Saving Grace 5K

🏃‍♀️ Event Overview

Saving Grace is on a mission and needs your help! Saving Grace is hosting an in-person 5K run and 1-mile run/walk event at Victor Ashe Park this May to raise funds for their local non-profit mission work. This women's home aids women with faith-based drug and abuse recovery to influence positive life changing growth with a lifelong impact. If you can't join us in person on the day of the race, you may choose to participate in the virtual 5K opportunity by walking or running a course of your choosing while still supporting Saving Grace's mission.

💖 Support and Donations

All proceeds for this event will benefit the Saving Grace Women's home of Tennessee. Proceeds go to supporting the mission of rehabilitation for local women. Saving Grace began in 2015 with 2 homes, one for men (Project Hope) and one for women (Saving Grace). 10 years later, they now have 8 homes in 5 states and are continuing to love their neighbors one by one. All donations go to supporting the center with housing and annual expenses for residents and treatments needed. We hope to see you out there and lending your support!
