Mt. Olive Senior Youth is hosting its 6th Annual 5k Fundraiser, “Run 2 Grace” on Saturday, September 11th, 2021 to raise money in support of our youth attending the LCMS National Youth Gathering in Houston, Summer 2022. Plans are well under way to make this a fun 5k walk/run and we believe this event will be well-attended. Over the last 5 years, our event has brought in 100’s of runners in person and virtually in support of our amazing youth!
Mt. Olive Lutheran has been a part of the Anoka community for over 70 years. This race is not only an opportunity for our youth and adults to fundraise for missions, but it is our way to outreach, help with wellness goals, and get out into our community, as the 5k race will start from Mt. Olive and make our way through local neighborhoods to the river and finish at Mt. Olive.
Walk-up Registration & Packet Pick-up Race day packet pick-up and registration will be available starting at 8:00 AM at Mt. Olive Church the morning of the event.
