Event Description

The John 3:17 Ministry in Newport invites you to come May 10, 2025, to their first Miles for Smiles Run. At 3.17 miles it's got just a bit more bite than a 5K (only 3.11 miles)! Proceeds will go to the dental fund for the ladies under the ministry's care. 

The route is a simple out and back from the John 3:17 staff house on Highway 145 S in Newport. Race-day registration opens at 8 a.m., and the race starts at 9. The entry fee is $30 for those 13 and older, free for children 12 and younger (choose "Child 12-Under entry" event). Awards will go to the Top 3 Men and Top 3 Women.

John 3:17 offers recovery services at no charge to residents and their families on 10 rural acres on property of the Church at Remmel Community for Christ. The ministry provides Christian faith-based training in a nurturing nondenominational environment. Your participation in our various fundraising events helps us lift up these women.
