The Salvation Run, an all Bengaluru inter-church sporting initiative conceptualized for Christian believers, will be held on April 8 when participants will run five kilometres and walk three. The event will be flagged-off at 6 am by Archbishop Bernard Moras of Bengaluru, along with leaders from the community and well known Sports celebrities at the St Francis Xavier’s Cathedral in Frazer town.
Over 1000 participants for the event including religious heads from all denominations and churches have already registered. The event has been conceptualized with a motive to get together Christian believers from all denominations and empower their lives through the sport of running, disciplining oneself with a healthy lifestyle and a purposeful living.
Sport occupies a legitimate place in the created world and thus helps in expressing emotions, integrity, character and values by taking ownership to understand and respect one another and help in developing the welfare and eco system of the society emphasizing on health and wellness, promoting a sporting culture bringing hope among children, youth and the community at large.
