At my college I’m trying to start a Catholic Running group. The purpose of this group is to get a bunch of the Catholic guys at my church together to pray, evangelize, and to build fellowship though running. I’ve got a group of about 15 or 20 that say they are interested but I could use some help coming up with ideas of things we could do when we meet.
I think we’ll plan to meet about once a week and here are some ideas I’ve come up with of things that we can do:
Running Rosary: I’ve developed a Rosary swim work out in which each lap represents a prayer and i’d like to implement this with running. Maybe have a leader start the prayers and the rest of the guys finish them. I think this would be cool in a large group running around campus and would really get peoples attention.
General Prayer and Scripture: We could start and end every run with a prayer or scripture and talk about ways that running relates to our faith. (1 Corinthians 9:24!)
Host a race: We could plan and host a 5k race to raise money for a charity.
Abortion Run: We could try to get a bunch of guys together and run a lap on a track for every baby aborted in America in a day. (This will be tough because 4000 laps is 1000 miles) Maybe we can find some other way to make this happen.
Shirts: Our parish is named Saint Michael’s and he is actually a perfect saint for the group. We could make cool shirts and wear them when attending a race sometime to get people’s attention.
Any other ideas will be greatly appreciated!
