Morgantown, WV — On Saturday, October 4, 2025, runners and walkers from across the region will gather in Morgantown for the Faith in Families 5K Run and Walk, organized and hosted by CMA Church of Morgantown, an event dedicated to supporting vulnerable children and families throughout West Virginia.

Hosted on a scenic two-loop course through a local neighborhood, the race begins and ends near a church on Elmhurst Street. Participants of all ages and experience levels are welcome, including those completing the Christian Motorcyclists Association’s Upward Running 5K training program.
The weekend kicks off Friday evening, October 3, with a free pasta dinner and early packet pick-up from 6:00 to 7:30 p.m. On race day, registration and packet pick-up open at 6:30 a.m., with the race starting shortly after.
All proceeds from the Faith in Families 5K will benefit Chestnut Mountain Village, a ministry that partners with churches to serve foster, adoptive, kinship, and other vulnerable families. These funds will help equip churches to provide practical, emotional, and spiritual support to families in need across the Mountain State.
“This event is about more than just crossing the finish line,” said Greg Clutter, Director of Foster Care Initiatives at Chestnut Mountain Village. “It’s about bringing the community together to help ensure every child and family in West Virginia knows they are seen, supported, and loved.”
Registration is now open. For more details or to sign up, visit Faith in Families 5K Registration Page.
