About US
Purpose
The Strawberry Distance Challenge is 5k 10k run dedicated to making a difference in people's lives. The SDC benefits organizations and places in need including The Shade Tree, a nonprofit that offers ongoing support as well as a resource for families in ministry to step away from the sacrifice of a 24/7 position and be poured into, encouraged and
receive a time of respite.
Youth is also a special place in our hearts and SDC
benefits local youth organizations.
We encourage a lifestyle of fitness, and building relationships in the process is important. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned runner, we invite you to join us and bring the family and friends along for the fun.
