Run for the Village : 18th Annual Charity Race
Run for the Village is the 18th annual charity 5k run and walk hosted by Graceland Church. The event is scheduled for June 26, 2026, at Graceland Church and focuses on raising funds for Eden Children’s Village in Doma, Zimbabwe.
Proceeds from the event go directly to Eden Ministries to support Eden Children’s Village. Eden Children’s Village comprises ten family-style homes and provides comprehensive care for about 70 children who were orphaned or abandoned. The village aims to offer an environment that helps children heal, be nurtured, and prepare for future independence.
Organizers note that Run for the Village has supported Eden Ministries for 18 years and that the event operates as a community fundraiser to channel resources to the village. In the same week as the race, a youth running camp is offered for elementary and middle school participants from June 22 to June 26, with registration opening on June 1 at Graceland Recreation events.
The presentation of the event is factual and focused on charitable support and local programming linked to Eden Ministries and Graceland Church. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
