Run for Missions: Frequently Asked Questions

F.A.Q. (Frequently Asked Questions)
Run for Missions 2009

Do you run non-stop?
Yes, we do not stop to sleep, but instead keep going all day and all night, taking a little over 24 hours to complete the distance. We do, however, pause every 3-5 miles to fill up our water-bottles and grab a little food to eat along the way from our roving aid-station vehicle. See the Run for Missions 2008 report.

Do you run along highway 54?
No, in 2008 we went west out of Wichita on 21st which turns into county roads and continues west for about 60 miles. Then we set off on dirt roads, all north of 54 through Pratt County, winding our way down to Pratt. We cross through Pratt city limits on 54 and then take country roads north of 54 out of the west side of Pratt all the way to Haviland. A very similar if not identical course is being planned for 2009.

Who are the recipients of the scholarship?
The current recipients of this scholarship are EFC-MAYM college or graduate students intending to serve on a Friends Mission field after graduation. See 2008 recipients of scholarship: http://www.efcmaym.org/ScholarshipRecepientBios.pdf.

Can I give more or less than $100?
Yes, of course! Please give generously as you feel led, whether that is $10 or $10,000! Any amount is helpful and is greatly appreciated.

Can I run with you?
Yes, please do! 100 mile runs are challenging, long, and grueling and the more companionship and encouragement you receive along the way, the better. The most challenging times are between 10:00 pm and 6:00 am, so if anybody is up for some late/early night running, it would be greatly appreciated. Contact adam@efcmaym.org to make arrangements for running. More specific details will be worked out in the weeks leading up to October 26th. You can run any distance from one mile to 50 miles if you so choose with me. In fact, you can run the whole 100 miles if you will commit to helping with the fundraising process!
