Join our 6th annual Camp Bethel PEP! 5K Run and Walk fundraiser!  Our new 5K Course covers some of the many  trails, fields, and forests on the 470 acres of Camp Bethel. ​ Your fee (and sponsors) will benefit Camp Bethel.  $35.00 Participant Fee includes fully stocked water/aid stations, a race t-shirt, post-race packaged snacks, 10:00am BRUNCH, fun, fellowship, and Barry's bad jokes.  Sponsor the run to make it more fun!  Join us on this journey: good for health, good for fellowship, and good for Camp Bethel!
COVID-19 Safety:
To ensure everyone's health and safety, we will operate in compliance with whatever phase Virginia is in at the time of the race.  Packet pickup before race day is greatly encouraged to minimize lines of people on race morning. 
Packet Pickup Options: 
1. Friday, September 2, 10:00am - 5:00pm at the Camp Bethel office, 328 Bethel Road, Fincastle, VA 24090.
2. Saturday, September 3, 7:00am - 8:00am during race check-in at Ark Dining Hall Lawn (Pond Side)
 
Unvaccinated persons should wear a mask when indoors or near other unvaccinated persons. ​The 5K will be chip-timed at both the start and finish, so you are only competing against your own time. The race will start in waves in order to spread runners out and eliminate the mass start. 
When passing others on single-track trail, you must call out "Passing on the Left!" ​Post race snacks and drinks will be available, and our brunch is from 10:00-10:45, (menu below and extra donations strongly encouraged). Results will be presented as soon as possible following the last runner.

​Saturday Brunch at 10:15: 
Biscuits & Sausage Gravy, Sausage Patties, Scrambled Eggs (GF/VG), Cantaloupe (DF/GF/VG), Juice, Water, Coffee, Teas. Served with butter, apple butter, ketchup. Options include Cereals, Milk (2%, Soy, & Almond), Fruit Salad, Yogurt, Granola, Bagels and Cream Cheese.

WHAT PARENTS ARE SAYING:
"Our son and daughter have been coming to Camp Bethel since they were 5 years old--they are now 13 and 14 years old. We have found that your camp is one of the few that our kids continue to enjoy even as they are older. Other camps (sometimes a lot more expensive) are nice but for some reason the magic of Camp Bethel remains. We also really respect the way that your camp incorporates God and Bible study but in such a way that it is still cool--a rarity these days to find a place where kids can be kids and learn to love God and care for one another in God's creation. Thanks so much for the awesome experience for our kids and the ongoing magic that is Camp Bethel. Thanks, Gina and Chris Engel"
