Thank you for your support for our efforts once again. It is always an exciting time to work with St James, our committee, volunteers, Anderson Race Management, and Teen Challenge.
Thank you especially to Hosanna Free Lutheran Church of St James for these past opportunities to serve the community and your gracious support.
Unfortunately, with race day quickly approaching, the registration numbers are no where near where they were last time this year. We have made the difficult decision to cancel our event. All current registrants will be refunded 100% of their fees. For any direct questions, please email us at [email protected]
Please keep us in mind for possible upcoming events. Feel free to search the website of Anderson Race Management where you'll find a large list of events on their calendar. Have a great running season!

Let's introduce you to some fabulous volunteers for Run For Change 5k and 2mile. Meet our race director!

I'm Lisa Hagen, the cross country coach for St Mary's, Sleep Eye Public, and New Ulm Cathedral schools. These past 8 years I have coached for track and cross country. In my high school years, I ran at state level. I'm also homeschooling mom of 7, 2 of which have run at college level. My oldest daughter, Abby, won cross country nationals in the NCCAA in 2022.
I'm excited to be part of the team for Run For Change. Running can be more than just a hobby or passion. It can also change lives when you run for a kingdom purpose to earn funding for organizations that reach those in need and show the love of Jesus.
