Who We Are
Kingdom Runners is an Athletes of Christ run club that started in April 2025 to support the #JesusRevolution movement. We gather weekly to combine our love for fitness with our passion for following Jesus Christ.
Our mission is to create a welcoming community where believers can strengthen their bodies, build meaningful relationships, and grow their faith through regular running activities.
Whether you're an experienced runner or just starting your fitness journey, Kingdom Runners welcomes participants of all levels. Our focus is on community and encouragement rather than competition.
Weekly Saturday Runs
When We Meet
We gather every Saturday morning at 10:00 AM, rain or shine. Our runs typically last 60-90 minutes, including warm-up, running/walking time, and a brief devotional afterward.
Locations vary each week between several beautiful trails in Connecticut. Check our Events page for the upcoming location or subscribe to our newsletter for updates.
What to Expect
Each gathering begins with a brief welcome and prayer. We then split into pace groups so that no one runs alone. After the run, we gather for water, fellowship, and a short devotional.
We welcome participants of all fitness levels. Some walk, some jog, and some run—all are encouraged to participate at their own pace and ability.
Benefits of Joining
Physical Wellness
Regular running improves cardiovascular health, builds endurance, aids in weight management, and releases stress-reducing endorphins. When we care for our physical bodies, we honor God's temple (1 Corinthians 6:19-20).
Meaningful Fellowship
Running together creates natural opportunities for conversation and connection. Many deep friendships have formed during our Saturday runs as we share our journeys, both physical and spiritual.
Spiritual Growth
Each run includes a brief devotional time focused on Scripture and application. Many participants find that the combination of physical activity and spiritual reflection creates a unique environment for hearing God's voice.
Community Impact
Our run club supports the Athletes of Christ programs, which provide sports opportunities for youth who otherwise couldn't afford them. Your participation helps expand this important ministry.
What to Bring
- Water bottle (staying hydrated is essential)
- Comfortable running/walking shoes
- Weather-appropriate workout clothes
- Small towel (optional)
- Positive attitude and open heart
Tip:
If you're new to running, don't worry about pace or distance. Our focus is on building community and moving forward together, not competition. We have runners and walkers of all levels!
Part of a Bigger Movement
Kingdom Runners is more than just a running group—it's an integral part of the #JesusRevolution movement. By participating in our weekly runs, you're joining a nationwide awakening of believers who are committed to following Jesus's two greatest commandments: loving God with all our heart, soul, and mind, and loving our neighbors as ourselves.
Our run club creates an accessible entry point for people curious about faith. Many who might never attend a traditional church service will join a run, creating natural opportunities for spiritual conversations.
The #JesusRevolution movement believes that when believers unite around these foundational commandments, transformative change happens in our communities. Kingdom Runners provides a practical way to live out these principles while caring for our physical health.
