Jerry Can Relay

Our 5K jerry can relay will be a 3 person relay with both men's teams and women's teams welcome. Each team will run/walk the 1 mile special course with a Jerry can provided by Zoe Ministries. The Jerry can will be filled with 5 Gallons (42 lbs) of water for men teams and 3 Gallons (25 lbs) of water for women teams. Time results end when the last person of each team crosses the finish line. Each team will sign up for the race as single entry but will be responsible for forming their own 3 person teams. The Jerry can can be carried in any position desired but no straps or alternative methods/additions to the can will be permitted. All age athletes are welcomed. Create an awesome team name and let us cheer you on!

Who is Zoe Ministries?

In January of 2017, Zoe Ministries was born out of the immediate need to rescue orphaned and vulnerable children in Kenya. Zoe Ministries exists in order that we may mobilize the church to care for the nations. Today, the Lord has grown our initial vision not only to care for orphaned children, but to also care for and empower widows, drill and rehabilitate clean water wells, facilitate farming initiatives, and provide income generation in the communities we serve.
