Children’s Relief International announces 15th Anniversary of Green Door 5K/10K: A Race for Homes

Rockwall, TX (February 14, 2024) –  Children’s Relief International (CRI) is thrilled to announce the 15th anniversary of the Green Door 5K/10K & 1 Mile Fun Run on April 13th, 2024, at Harry Myers Park in Rockwall, Texas. This milestone year marks a decade and a half of impactful races, and CRI invites the community to join in the celebration.

Making a Difference for 15 Years
Since its inception, the Green Door 5K/10K has played a pivotal role in supporting CRI’s Green Door Ministry, which builds homes for those in deep poverty. Over the past 15 years, this event has contributed to the construction of close to 400 Green Door homes across the globe. These homes serve as beacons of hope, providing shelter and security for widows and families in Mozambique, Malawi, Uganda, Haiti, and Mexico.

Join the Celebration on April 13th – A Special Anniversary Celebration
Whether you’ve been part of the Green Door 5K/10K journey over the past 15 years or not, CRI extends a special invitation to join in the festivities on April 13th. Bring a friend, lace up your running shoes, and be part of a race that goes beyond the finish line to make a lasting impact.

Race Goal: Building 30 Green Door Homes in 2024
The Green Door 5K/10K has set an ambitious goal for its 15th year – to fund the construction of 30 Green Door Homes in 2024. Each home costs $3,000 to build, and CRI is actively seeking 30 Green Door Home sponsors, as well as encouraging participation from runners, friends, and supporters.
