Event Description

Run for the Kids with 18ten Ministries! Join us on Saturday, October 15, 2022 to support 18ten Ministries in our efforts to respond to the needs of orphans and other disadvantaged children in Central America. Don't miss the opportunity to invite your friends and sign up as a team to compete for the Team Competition!

18ten Ministries’ goal is to establish a network of Christ-centered missions throughout this region that meet both the physical and spiritual needs of local, disadvantaged children.  Our strategy is to enlist local churches and Christians to perform this work in the areas where they live.  Our role will be to empower them by providing guidance, expertise, resources, and any other necessary help to make these ministries as effective as possible.  We want to bring glory to God by sharing the love of Jesus Christ in Central America.

International runners will be charged an additional $15 for shipping. Register by September 30, 2022 to receive your race swag by Race Day. Registrations received after October 7 will receive a swag bag and shirt but it may not arrive by October 15.
