From the Race Organizer
Welcome to the Greater Purpose 5k run and mile walk! This event will be hosted at Friendship Village Campground in Bedford, PA. As you progress through the course you can expect to view the beautiful nature of the campground and all of its amenities. All are welcome to participate because we offer an experience from a competitive 5k to an enjoyable mile stroll. This event is called the Greater Purpose because everything we do is for a greater purpose of serving God and following His will for us. As you compete you will be participating in the greater purpose because all proceeds will be donated to missions, through a local church, to help spread God’s word. We encourage you to take part in the Greater Purpose 5k and mile walk because this event idea was sparked in memory of Brenda Neff. She always went above and beyond in dedicating her time to others and the Lord. She served for a greater purpose and is an inspiration for others to do so too.
