This is a 5K mud run/obstacle course that some of our friends help put on the past two years. Greg helped with the setup of the course and was in charge of the bibs for runners/setting up the timing.
ALL the proceeds for the race go to Sparrow Missions, a non-profit that is based here, but mostly benefits Honduras. Some friends of ours from church are now living there and serving in the community there. They are living and working in several communities there to start an orphanage, a school, sewing clinics, rehab, and work with hospitals, orphanages and a soup kitchen. Many of our friends and area churches continually send teams down to work on projects and love on the people.
This year we added a Kids River Dash. It was about a .6 mile loop with a few obstacles. The three oldest boys did it with their friends. They were MUDDY at the end. The finish line was right after a large mound of mud followed by a slip -n-slide into muddy water.
Crew #1 - I said "Look tough" and this is what I got

Proud of them for running and finishing. They all did it multiple times for fun. Everyone was muddy and worn out at the end of the day. What a glorious time and a great way to let them raise money/be a part of a service opportunity!
