Consider How the Wildflowers Grow Virtual Race

Trust His Timing. Keep Growing.

“Consider how the wildflowers grow...” — Luke 12:27

Wildflowers don't rush.

They don't compare themselves to the flowers growing beside them.

They simply grow where they're planted, in the season they're given.

Inspired by Luke 12:27, the Consider How the Wildflowers Grow Virtual Race is a Christian running and walking challenge created as a gentle reminder to slow down, trust God, and keep moving forward in faith.

Whether you're walking through a peaceful park, running your favorite trail or completing your miles on a treadmill, let each step remind you:

God is still growing something beautiful.

CONSIDER HOW THE WILDFLOWERS GROW

Life has a way of making us feel like we're always supposed to be doing more.

Moving faster.

Reaching the next goal.

Keeping up with everyone around us.

But Luke 12 gives us a different picture.

Consider the wildflowers.

They grow without worrying about tomorrow.

They bloom in their own season.

And they remind us of God's care for His creation.

This race is an invitation to carry that reminder with you for a mile, a 5K, a marathon—or whatever distance is right for this season of your life.

No comparison. No pressure. Just keep growing.

A RACE ABOUT MORE THAN MILES

Maybe you're working toward a fitness goal.

Maybe you're walking through a season of change.

Maybe life feels uncertain.

Or maybe you simply want to spend some intentional time outside, moving your body and reflecting on God's Word.

Whatever brings you to this challenge, you don't have to race anyone else.

Your journey doesn't need to look like theirs.

Wildflowers don't all bloom at the same time. Neither do we.

Choose your distance.

Move at your own pace.

Trust God's timing.

And keep taking the next faithful step.

EARN THE WILDFLOWERS FINISHER MEDAL

Complete your challenge and celebrate your accomplishment with the beautiful Consider How the Wildflowers Grow finisher medal, inspired by Luke 12:27.

Your registration also includes a coordinating race bib. 

The medal can become more than a reminder of the miles you completed.

Let it remind you to:

Trust when you don't have all the answers.

Find peace in the season you're in.

Notice the beauty around you.

Keep growing in faith.

Remember that God cares for you.

HOW DOES THE VIRTUAL RACE WORK?

1. CHOOSE YOUR DISTANCE

Choose the challenge that's right for you:

1 Mile | 5K | 10K | 13.1 Miles | 26.2 Miles

2. COMPLETE YOUR MILES

Run, walk, jog or hike anywhere you'd like.

Complete your race:

• Around your neighborhood
• At a local park
• On your favorite trail
• At the gym
• On a treadmill
• On a running track
• During another organized race

Your race can be completed anytime during 2026. 

3. COMPLETE IT YOUR WAY

You don't have to finish your distance all at once.

Complete it in one session or spread your miles over multiple days. 

Walk slowly.

Run quickly.

Stop to admire the flowers.

Pray along the way.

Your race. Your pace. Your season.

4. SUBMIT YOUR RESULTS

Track your distance and finishing time and submit your results through Virtual Run Events.

5. CELEBRATE

Celebrate what you accomplished—and carry the message of Luke 12:27 with you long after the miles are finished.

A BEAUTIFUL FAITH-CENTERED CHALLENGE TO SHARE

You can complete this race on your own, but it can also become a meaningful activity to share with others.

Invite your:

• Bible study group
• Women's ministry
• Church small group
• Walking group
• Family
• Mothers and daughters
• Sisters
• Friends
• Christian running group

Everyone can choose the distance that's right for them and encourage one another along the way.

You could even turn your miles into intentional time for prayer, conversation and reflection.

A MEANINGFUL CHRISTIAN GIFT

The Consider How the Wildflowers Grow Virtual Race also makes a thoughtful faith-centered gift.

Consider giving it to someone who:

🌸 Loves wildflowers or gardening
🌸 Loves walking or running
🌸 Is beginning a new chapter
🌸 Could use encouragement
🌸 Is navigating a season of change
🌸 Loves Scripture
🌸 Needs a reminder to trust God's timing

Sometimes the most meaningful gift isn't another thing.

It's an experience—and a reminder someone can carry with them.
