2022 RunFAR
Challenge
——
The 2022 RunFAR Challenge was another record-breaking event!
- Over 200 participants
- Over 600 miles logged
- Over $25,000 raised!
Whether you ran a marathon or walked a few miles, we are thankful for your participation in the 2022 RunFAR Challenge. Through your participation, you’ve practiced the “pure religion” of James 1:27 and helped us provide vital care for fatherless children growing up in extreme poverty. In collaboration with our indigenous African partners, we are providing for practical needs and sharing the good news of the gospel with the children and families we serve.
We thank God for the opportunity to work alongside our church partners in this ministry. We hope you’ll join us again in 2023!

“Participating in RunFAR is running with purpose; I race not only to help fund Covenant Mercies, but also to build awareness for this important ministry in our local running community … Whether you walk, jog, or run you can enjoy the camaraderie of competing with purpose to the glory of God…”
“RunFAR is a practical way that we can live out God’s command in James to care for widows and orphans. I won’t say it’s easy, but it is simple, and it is such a joy and privilege to play even the smallest part in the work God is doing to care for these children through Covenant Mercies … I have loved being a part of RunFAR the past few years!
