The Blazing Brick
5K and Century Ride
July 18 & 25
Northern Colorado
The earliest Christians were rooted in their relationship with God, boldly professing the truth about Jesus and embodying His heart for the poor.
This July, join us in raising money for these same causes.
The 5K-July 18
“Why should I run a 5K?”
Every registration will go towards helping Project Mexico build homes for impoverished families, care for children in their orphanage, and sponsor college students. Then, in 2027, Rooted will be leading a trip for college students to serve with their time and talent. So, you are raising money to care for the poor in Mexico and Rooted will mobilize college students to invest their time and talent in the very spaces that the funds we raise will be used.
Beyond raising money this ride offers the opportunity to develop relationships with others over training runs and at the 5K events. Register soon!
“How much does it cost?”
Registration is a $25 tax-deductible donation with a Blazing Brick t-shirt.
“What is the route?”
We’ll meet at Saint Spyridon Church in Loveland and run around Loveland High School, through a sculpture park, and head back to Saint Spyridon for the Finish Line party.
The Century Ride-July 25
“Why should I ride 100 miles or 100 kilometers?”
You will be raising money to support churches in Kenya and their work in caring for the poor. Then, at the end of 2026, Rooted will be leading a trip for college students to serve with their time and talent. So, by riding 100 miles or 100 kilometers, you are raising money to support the poor in Kenya, generosity that Rooted will support by mobilizing college students to invest their time and talent in the very spaces that the funds we raise will be used.
Beyond raising money for the poor, this ride offers the opportunity to develop friendships with others over regular training rides, TRAIN to do one of the hardest things you’ll ever do with a “Couch To Century Ride” weekly plan, and DEEPEN your own faith over great conversations with other cyclists. Register soon so you can start training with the group!
“100 miles sounds too far. “
We get it. We are also offering a Metric Century Ride that will follow a similar route to the Century Ride. Training alongside us with this Couch To Century Ride weekly plan will get you ready for that ride as well!
“How much does it cost?”
Registration is a $190 tax-deductible donation with a custom, high quality ride jersey being provided to all Century and Metric Century riders.
