Join us for the inaugural Jimmie Hale Mission Rescue Run 5K & Fun Run! On October 10th, 2020, join us as we proceed through the charming community Homewood, starting and finishing on 29th Avenue South near Dave’s Pizza. Rescue Run will feature live music, kid’s zone, appearances by Big Al & Aubie, cornhole, block-party, and much more! Race attendees will receive a high-quality race t-shirt & swag bag filled with goodies.

After the race, enjoy complimentary food, beverages, and swag provided by our generous event sponsors.  Great deals at local retailers and restaurants will be available.

This race will honor the loving memory of Homewood native, Douglas Benjamin Barnes.  Doug made a remarkable impact on his community and will be greatly missed.  We pray that all of those who were touched by Doug’s spirit will come out to celebrate his life and support those who are affected by homelessness.
