Run for the Village - 18th Annual Charity Race
Run for the Village is the 18th annual charity event hosted by Graceland Church. The event is a 5k run and walk held on June 26, 2026, with proceeds directed to Eden Ministries to support Eden Children's Village in Doma, Zimbabwe.
Eden Children's Village operates as a group of 10 family-style homes that provide comprehensive care for about 70 children. Funds raised by the event go directly to Eden Ministries to support caregiving, shelter, and programs intended to prepare children for future stability. The partnership between Run for the Village and Eden Ministries has continued for eighteen years.
The event also connects to a youth running camp for elementary and middle school participants that runs June 22 to June 26. Registration for the camp opens June 1 through Graceland Recreation events. The race is presented in conjunction with local church activities and community fundraising efforts focused on long-term support for Eden Ministries and its work in Doma, Zimbabwe.
The description emphasizes the event format, the charitable beneficiary, the scale of Eden Children's Village, and the related youth running camp dates and registration timeframe. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
