Since we cannot gather in person for our annual 5K race in Greensboro, we are partnering with the ECW and the United Thank Offering in the Great EpisGOpal Race!

​This is a wonderful way for the Sawyerville community to stay connected, get moving, and support two great causes.

Register now, race from wherever you are between November 5th—14th, and enter your results online. 

Proceeds from the race will benefit both Sawyerville and the United Thank Offering (UTO). UTO  is a ministry of the Episcopal Church that supports innovative mission and ministry throughout The Episcopal Church in the U.S. and abroad. They're currently focused on caring for God's creation. Learn more here.

How it Works

1. Choose your location. This race is virtual, meaning you can compete from anywhere in the world! You can hike a mountain in Switzerland, cycle around your neighborhood, or run a marathon in your house.

2. Choose your time. The race takes place from November 5 – November 14. Race at a time that works for you.

3. Choose your mode. We are joining together in gratitude for our bodies. Move in a way that makes you happy – run, bike, swim, hike, paddle board, martial arts, the options are endless.

​4. Any distance. Whether you want to set your personal record or take a stroll around your neighborhood, this race is for you. 1 mile, 5k, marathon, or anywhere in between, you choose!

Ways to Participate

1. Race. Join in gratitude, grab your sneakers, and move your body. We invite you to take this time to celebrate yourself.

2. Fundraise. You can choose to fundraise for UTO, Sawyerville, or both! 100% of the funds raised for UTO will support the Ingathering, which will fund creation care grants. Funds raised for Sawyerville will support opportunities for youth in Alabama.

3. Create a team. Invite folks from your parish, diocese, province, or beyond to race with you and start a team on the race page.

4. Challenge. Think your team can raise the most money or go the furthest distance? Challenge another team and see who wins!
