About Run for God Run for God was started by Mitchell Hollis of Dalton, Georgia when he realized, with the help of a dear friend, that running had become too important to him. It had become an obstructive idol in his life.

It all began with a t-shirt that he would wear to use as a witnessing tool for the Lord.

But, as He often does, God had much bigger plans for that t-shirt, and it has turned into a nationwide phenomenon having been taught in over 2500 churches to date.

Our Mission Run for God exists to bring the gospel to the world and, more specifically, the running community.

To that end, we have placed ads in Runner’s World magazine, with a circulation of 2.8 million runners, designed to share the name of Jesus with the running community at large. We ask the question in Jesus’ own words.

Decisions are being made to renew faith or accept Christ on a regular basis because of the WHO DO YOU SAY THAT I AM? campaign.

What does a Run for God crowd look like?

Run for God runners are more than two-thirds women and run a broad spectrum of ages. Most, as you would expect, are church-goers. Incomes tend to be a little higher than average in runners and many are type A personalities, ready to make purchasing decisions and/or support those who support causes they like. In short, the perfect market for your business!

How can we help each other?

Since Run for God is a non-profit organization being able to cover the cost of

our race services with sponsorship dollars means the participants’ entry fee is tax-deductible as a charitable donation. The cost of holding the races we have planned this year is about $30,000. In addition, anything above that amount goes to support the WHO DO YOU SAY THAT I AM? campaign and to help keep the doors open at Run for God.

We want to continue to receive letters, e-mails and texts from people whose lives have been transformed. Your involvement will help to ensure that we do just that.

WHAT

Our finish line experience

The family atmosphere in the Run for God community is fabulous, both at the events and in our online presence.

Thousands of T-shirts

MAKES OUR RACES At Run for God events, we always share the story of the Cross with both participants and spectators.

We always wait for the final finisher before beginning the awards presentation and we gather everyone at the

The cheers are louder for the last finisher than for the first! finish line to cheer.

Even with the explosive growth that Run for God has enjoyed,

DIFFERENT?

The Question.

our focus remains on the Cross. If we

fail to share Jesus and do not place Him in the center of all we do, we have failed, no matter what else happens.

We aim for value in

our races. All finishers receive high quality medals just after they cross the finish line! Our awards are custom made and professionally painted.
