The second annual St. Peter's Kilometers 5k/10k Races and Family Fun Run will be held on Saturday, April 27, 2013. All proceeds from the race will go to benefit the Interfaith Hospitality Network (IHN) of Coastal Georgia. 

Last year, our inaugural year for this event, more than 200 runners were registered and many more family and friends rooted them on and celebrated the fundraising effort to support IHN.  After the 8:15 Kids Fun Run, the 8:30 5k and 10k races will commence.

PACKET PICK-UP:  Participants may pick up their race packets and other information at Fleet Feet Sports, 3405 Waters Avenue on Friday, April 26, 2013 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.  Packets may also be picked up at St. Peter’s on race day from 7—8 a.m. (No late registration after 8 am.)   

T-SHIRTS AND AWARDS:  Each participant will receive a t-shirt.  Awards will be given to the top three overall male and female finishers as well as the top three male and female finishers in each age division.

CHIP TIMING: This year we will be using chip timing, which will allow us to post results from both races more quickly.

FASTER PASTOR CHALLENGE: All "Host" Churches are encouraged to put together a team of walkers/runners. The team with the most participants will be featured on a plaque and a $500 donation in your name will be made to IHN. All proceeds benefit Interfaith Hospitality Network.   If your church is participating as a "host" church for IHN, make sure you register and note your church name.  Download/Print FASTER PASTOR SIGNUP FORM
