Lace up for a race with a purpose at the Exodus Run 10K, set to take place on Saturday, April 4, 2026, in the charming waterfront city of Washington, North Carolina. This inspiring road race, starting at the picturesque Mac Hodges / Festival Park at 119 E Water Street, offers a 10K distance, inviting runners to experience what's lauded as "the most beautiful course in all of Eastern North Carolina". Participants can anticipate typical race day conditions around this time of year, with comfortable highs near 68°F and lows around 47°F, alongside a mere 15% chance of precipitation, providing ideal weather for a strong performance.

Beyond the scenic views, the Exodus Run stands out for its profound mission. Organized by F3 Washington in collaboration with Run the East, all proceeds from the event are dedicated to supporting individuals battling substance use disorders and mental illness in Eastern NC. The race actively raises awareness and provides crucial funding to organizations like Dare Challenge, a Christian-based recovery program for men, and Celebrate Recovery in Little Washington. Runners become part of a movement to offer "a road out of the bondage" of addiction, depression, substance abuse, and suicide. The event fosters a strong sense of community, culminating in a public breakfast provided by Haw Branch Church of Christ.

Join hundreds of runners in this impactful event, challenging yourself on a beautiful course while contributing to a vital cause that directly aids the local community. The Exodus Run is more than just a race; it's an opportunity for fitness, fellowship, and faith, making a tangible difference in the lives of many.
