Fiat 5k FYI

Hey Y’all!  This year the fiat ladies discerned that the Holy Spirit is not calling us to do another 5k.  Thanks for the laughs and good times! You made our 5ks epic!

Be assured the Holy Spirit is still a mooooovin and you just never know what He might call us to next….  Until then, happy trails!

Final preparations!

This Saturday, August 16th is the day – Fiat 5K at the Farm!

As we get ready to host all ya’ll, there are a number of things to do. Yesterday’s agenda: accurately measuring the course. I add accurately because our method of measuring last year (ala “Map my run” app) wasn’t a perfect 5k distance. This year, we’re taking no chances and leaving no room for error. We hired a professional: Mr. Michael Marschel, head cross country coach at Royalton High School.

Some documentation of the day:

Let’s take a walk down memory lane to last year’s 5K….

The weather was perfect, and the farm was packed with people ready to run and walk

Everyone was welcome, including moms, dads and kids in the strollers

We had an opening prayer….

And if they wanted to, some people got to experience life on a dairy farm

So whether they ran, walked, or just hung around the farm, the consensus was the same: the Fiat 5K was a blast!

And we look forward to having you with us this year!
Saturday, August 16th at 8:30 am at the Molitor Farm, just outside of St. Cloud, MN.
