About the Vision of Hope 5K
This race is put on by a mobile church that runs an outreach center in downtown Kenly, and the funds go toward finding the ministry a permanent home. The course runs through town, so you are passing through the community the race is meant to serve. Age group awards go deep, covering a wide spread of brackets from the youngest runners to the oldest.
Race-morning pickup covers registration before the gun goes off, so there is no separate trip the day before. The start area is close to downtown, which keeps logistics simple if you are driving in from nearby.
