We are inviting YOU to be part of this faith-filled, heart-pumping movement!
This isn’t just your normal 5K race—it’s a feet-to-faith movement designed to revive hearts, strengthen the body of Christ, and equip you to be the hands and feet of Jesus.
♥️ Every race we host responds to the needs of a different nonprofit—by running with purpose and moving with mission we are a community with hearts on fire for Jesus, serving others as we strengthen our own.
We believe that when we train our bodies, we also train our hearts—to endure, to persevere, and to love like Jesus.
Heart-Centered Scripture
Eyes up. Hearts open. Feet to Faith.
The word "heart" is mentioned 600 times in the ESV bible, symbolizing not just the physical organ but also the spiritual and emotional center of a person. God’s pursuit of our hearts is an expression of His relentless love, drawing us into a deeper, more intimate relationship with Him and enabling us to live fully in His grace and truth (1 John 4:19). He seeks our genuine, wholehearted love and devotion which naturally leads us to obey His commandments (Matthew 22:36-40). Inside out transformation begins in the heart when God changes our heart and spirit to align with His will and character (Ezekiel 36:26). The heart is the source of our thoughts, words, and actions, and by capturing our hearts, God ensures that our lives reflect His love and righteousness (Matthew 12:34). Studying scripture about the “heart” is good for us because it helps us understand God's love and His plan for our lives to live more like Him.
Heart over hustle.
The fast pace of modern life, with its constant distractions from technology, social media, and busy lifestyles can make it challenging for people to slow down. Taking time out to cultivate a deep love for God while physically slowing down during a jog and breathing through movement, focusing on heart-centered scripture, encourages reflection and a sense of delight in being 'fearlessly and wonderfully made’.

our life - His story
I’ve never attended an overtly Christian road race that was free and bold to share the name of Christ in the public Square. It was uplifting, heartwarming, and downright fun! Praying that some passersby may have heard the Word through the announcements, signs or prayers and were blessed according to their needs! Well done, Heartbeat for Jesus!
This race was much more put-together than larger races I have participated in! I loved the spiritual encouragement emails leading up to the race and the overall theme. Being prayed over before the race was unlike anything I have ever experienced before!
At the Heartbeat for Jesus 5K, I found myself encouraged to push further and farther as a runner. From the pre-race prayer to the sideline cheering section to the Scriptures posted along the way, the whole environment made the experience a spiritual as well as a physical journey. It was more than just a run!
