The Urban Purpose Challenge will raise funds for Urban Purpose. This ministry serves the homeless, poor, broken and needy in Birmingham, AL. The challenge is being hosted by Shades Mountain Baptist Church and will be held on the church property. The 5K will run through the beautiful rolling hills neighborhoods behind the church off of Columbiana. The Team WOD (Workout of the Day) event will include eight different stations around the parking lot. Each station will have a five-minute time cap and will be judged by the speed of completion or number of reps. The Kid’s Mess Fest will take place on the field at the church. There will be water games, slip n slides and inflatables for kids. Be sure they wear swimsuits. It’s sure to be messy and festive! Parents may bring registered children ages 4-12 to the field before the race and stay and play until 1pm!
