Riverland Hills Baptist Church is launching a 12-week “Run for God” program starting on February 11. This program combines a weekly Bible study with group training sessions to prepare participants for a 5k (3.1-mile) or a 10k (6.2-mile) road race. A 5k walking program is also available, and individuals completing the program will participate in a local road race on May 4.
