Annual Running Well 5k

Run or Walk this 5k race in Beverly Massachusetts, and help raise funds to bring water to people who desperately need it

Come to Beverly to race for a great cause! All race proceeds will be used by The Running Well Ministry at Calvary Christian Church to build another well in Africa in 2016. The cost to build a well is over $10,000. One well can make the quality of life so much better for hundreds of children and adults, many of whom must spend hours daily to procure potable water. Whether you run or walk, your effort will provide a source of clean water for those who don't have access to it.  Race day sign up begins at 8:30
