Montgomery, Ala. – On Saturday, Nov. 14, Centerpoint Fellowship Church will open its campus to runners of every age and ability for a half marathon and 5K race. The event is organized to raise funds for Centerpoint Missions, the church’s outreach program that supports local and global humanitarian projects.
Faith‑Driven Fitness for a Good Cause
Race Director Candy Reynolds explained that the race is designed to blend physical activity, community fellowship, and charitable giving. “We want families to come out, get some exercise, and know that every step they take helps further the mission work we do,” Reynolds said.
Vince Blubaugh, the church’s Missions Pastor, added that the proceeds will directly fund projects such as food‑distribution drives, disaster‑relief efforts, and youth mentorship programs. “Our mission is to be the hands and feet of Christ in Montgomery and beyond, and this race gives our neighbors a tangible way to partner with us,” Blubaugh said.
Details for Participants
The race will start at 8:00 a.m. on the church’s grounds, with a scenic loop that winds through nearby neighborhoods and parks. Registration is open now, and participants can sign up online via the church’s website. There will be a post‑race celebration featuring refreshments, music, and a brief message from Pastor Blubaugh.
Families are encouraged to join together; there will be a kids’ fun‑run segment and a “cheer zone” for supporters. All participants will receive a commemorative t‑shirt and a finisher’s medal.
Community Impact
Centerpoint Fellowship Church has a long history of community involvement in Montgomery. The race adds to a growing calendar of events that bring together faith, health, and service. Local businesses have pledged to sponsor the race, providing water stations, snacks, and prizes for top finishers.
“Events like this strengthen the bonds between our church and the broader Montgomery community,” said Reynolds. “We’re grateful for the volunteers, sponsors, and runners who make this possible.”
