About Us<\/h3>\n
\n
In 2013, we launched a small 5K on the south side of Chicago, and a health movement was born.\u00a0 Since then, we\u2019ve supported over 100 new run\/walk teams, engaged over 75 <\/strong>Gospel Run Health Ambassadors, and inspired thousands <\/strong>of sedentary men, women, and children to get active and believe that change is possible.\u00a0 <\/em>\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
Gospel Run is a 501c3 public health organization that connects communities, congregations, and clergy through health programming and breakthrough experiences that inspire people to engage with their health in a new way.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
Our\u00a0bold belief is that health is possible, in spite of where you\u2019re from, where you start, or what you\u2019ve been through.\u00a0 We connect, support, and inspire our community to live healthier, more active, more powerful lives.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
<\/h3>\n
The Need for this Work<\/p>\n
\n
The United States has the third largest health gap in the world, and the numbers are moving in the wrong direction.\u00a0 We believe your race and zip code should not determine your destiny, health outcomes, or life expectancy.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The health epidemic our communities face is so much more than physical.\u00a0 We challenge our community to step into their power and live into the belief that All Things Are Possible<\/strong>, in health and in life.<\/em>\u00a0 We believe that lacing up and walking is one of the easiest steps anyone can take to get started on the journey to health and wellness.\u00a0 With community and support, they can stay on that road \u2013 one step at a time.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
<\/h3>\n
Changing Lives \u2013 One Step at a Time<\/p>\n
Gospel Run is much more than just a race.\u00a0 For me, it was life transforming.\n<\/h3>
It was an opportunity to conquer my fears. -April\n<\/p>
<\/h1>\n
We invite you to be a part of the Gospel Run family!<\/p>\n
