Get Excited as our 18th Annual Ministry Fundraiser offers Greenville their 10th Annual Cross Training 5K Race!! Hope of Glory and CrossFit Greenville are proud to continue the challengingCross Training 5K to benefit families throughout Pitt County. Please join us as we blend our Annual 5K race with Cross Training exercises into a beautiful course beginning at Uptown Greenville, towards the Town Common and back up 5th Street, running by East Carolina
University.
GO Pirates!
Our race offers the option to runners to run a regular 5K, for families to walk a 5K together, or those who like to step up their fitness level can participate in the 6 cross training stations guided by coaches from CrossFit Greenville. These stations are placed throughout the 5K run and require a completion of specific exercises with multiple repetitions. Any weight exercises
will be adjusted based on fitness level and weight requirements. Heats will be used to separate beginner, intermediate, and advance cross training levels.
Proceeds will help Hope of Glory Ministries in their mission to relieve burdens, empower families, and proclaim Christ throughout our community!
RACE INITIATIVE:
Hope of Glory Ministries was founded in 2001 as a 501 (c)(3) Christ‐centered community outreach ministry. A large focus of our ministry is helping those in Pitt County who live at or beneath the level of poverty. It is estimated that 21.4% of Pitt County residents live beneath the poverty level ($25,715 for household of 4). Based on US Census 2018 estimates, this translates into about 39,000 people. Our Community Food Co-op Program is moving families towards
financial stability by providing healthy fresh and non-perishable foods twice a month. With an estimated $375 savings each month, families are paired with mentors and set goals to redistribute the saved money towards debts, an emergency fund or savings account.
Our 2023 Impact Report:
Average household income of our Community Co-op families is $30,000.
In 2023, The Community Co-op Program served 20 families and relieved $50,880 in grocery savings.
356 mentor/education hours attended by families
175 volunteer hours
$6,755 invested by families into program
