Event Overview
The Run with Purpose 5K is a community athletic event held in Lawrenceburg, Tennessee. Hosted by Gum Springs Baptist Church, the race serves as a fundraiser to support the Youth Camp ministry. The proceeds from the event are used to cover the operational and practical costs associated with providing a safe and meaningful camp experience for local youth. The youth camp has historically been offered at no cost to participants, and this 5K aims to maintain that tradition by addressing the expenses of the growing program.
Participation and Course
The event features a single distance:
- 5 km (3.1 miles)
The race is open to both runners and walkers of various experience levels. Participants are welcome to complete the course as a competitive run for a personal best or as a recreational walk with friends and family. Children are permitted to be on the course; however, those not in strollers must be officially registered for the race.
Location and Purpose
The event takes place at 1990 Fall River Rd in Lawrenceburg. The initiative is rooted in the mission of investing in the next generation and fostering a morning of fellowship and encouragement for the local community.
