This special event invites participants from all walks of life — both in person and virtually — to come together to support Hood Theological Seminary’s mission of preparing bold and creative leaders for the Christian church in a diverse world. Registration for the event is $35, and all participants, whether in person or virtual, will receive an official event T-shirt (registration must be completed by Nov. 15 to guarantee a T-shirt). In-person participants will also receive swag bags and enjoy refreshments.

Participants will walk eight laps around the Hood Theological Seminary campus to complete the 2K distance. Virtual participants are encouraged to walk in their own local areas and submit a photo of their completed walk to Ty Walker at twalker@hoodseminary.edu.
