Mt. Cross is joining forces with Lutheran Outdoor Ministries (LOM) and 18 other camps and retreat centers from around the country (and Canada!) for the First Annual "Run for Camp" 5K on Sunday, November 1, 2020! This is a great opportunity to have some fun and raise money for Mt. Cross!
The Run for Camp can be completed by anyone, anywhere. You can walk, run, skip, roller blade, bike, wheel, crawl, treadmill, elliptical, etc. - whatever way you want to complete your 5K is the right way!
Here are all the details:
WHO: Anyone! All ages and all abilities are encouraged to participate.
WHAT: A virtual 5K (~3.1 miles). You determine your route, so it can be done by anyone, anywhere!
WHEN: Sunday, November 1 (there are a couple other dates to also know, so please see below)
WHY: To have fun, join forces with folks from all over the country, and raise funds for Mt. Cross.
COST: $25 registration fee (plus $20 for a t-shirt, if you want)

Attend the live "finish-line" Zoom party LOM will be hosting from Noon-3 pm (PST) on Sunday, November 1, at which time they will be showing the pictures you sent in and celebrating all the support raised for Mt. Cross, and the other participating camps and retreat centers around the country.
All the Mt. Cross team members will be listed here, along with a count of how many total supporters the team members have recruited. Our goal is to have at least 30 participants and 150 supporters.
