WHY RUN/WALK?

New Life Community Ministries (NLCM) is located in South DeKalb County along the I-20 corridor, which is one of the most concentrated areas of poverty in Metro Atlanta. By becoming a participant/sponsor your donation will support NLCM to house, feed, clothe, provide career development, education and other support services to the homeless or those at risk of homelessness. This encompasses the thousands of families that are experiencing added negative circumstances as a result of the pandemic. Please join us and help to change a life!

MAKE A CHANGE VIRTUALLY

  • You run or walk your own race at your own pace, and time it yourself.
  • Choose a safe trail, track, or park (for example the Michelle Obama Trail at GSU-Decatur Campus or the Beltline) to track your route and time your individual 5K. You can even choose to run/walk indoors on a treadmill.
  • Each runner/walker will use their own exercise app (you can download an app to your phone: Nike Run Club, RunKeeper, Fitbit, etc.) to track your route and time of your individual 5K.  Please email questions to nlcmdocs@newlife-atl.org if assistance is needed to download a tracking app.
  • You have from Saturday, September  17th to Saturday, September 24th at 11:59pm to complete your run and submit your time.
