Centerpoint Challenge Run

Centerpoint's first-ever "CP Challenge" was a great success by everyone's reckoning, with over 350 runners taking part. All proceeds went toward to support our Youth's Peru mission trip in June. Below are a few images of the race (check back; more will be added as they become available):

Our 10K-ers; and a child shall lead them...

Our tots can trot:



Peace, love, and lactic acid!

Pastor Schmidt rides alongside runners, offering encouragement. Somehow, he didn't seem as winded as the other participants...


A word of prayer before the run ("...and please Lord, no shin splints again!")

"Okay, what fool gave Scott the megaphone?!"

At John's insistence (and by popular demand), race organizer Karen Barnard replaces Scott at the megaphone...

Mass start, at the front of the herd.

Thanks to the Prattville Police, who kept us safe on the routes.

We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful day!

Thanks to Shelley Green for providing the music. Selections included, "It Keeps You Running," "On the Road Again," "Movin' Me Down the Highway," and "Running on Empty," among others.
