Lace up your shoes for the Feed My Sheep Ministry 5K, returning to Fairview Heights, IL, on August 15, 2026. This inspiring 5K run/walk invites participants to navigate a course through the adjacent neighborhood, starting and finishing conveniently at Christ Church, located at 339 Frank Scott Parkway East. It's a fantastic opportunity to challenge yourself while contributing to a meaningful cause.

This annual event is more than just a race; it's a vital fundraiser for Feed My Sheep Ministry, a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting initiatives in Honduras and providing scholar sponsorships. Runners have the unique option to enhance their impact by choosing a registration tier that directly sponsors a Honduran student for the upcoming school year. Typical race day conditions in mid-August feature highs around 89°F and lows around 66°F, with a modest 14% chance of precipitation, making for a warm but generally clear morning run.

Beyond the main 5K, the event also features a Kids Fun Run, ensuring a family-friendly atmosphere where younger participants can join in the excitement immediately after the 5K concludes. Packet pick-up is conveniently held at Christ Church both the day before and on race morning, ensuring a smooth start to your race experience.
