About Calvary Race
Welcome to Calvary Race, where faith, fitness, and fellowship converge to create a transformative experience. Our platform brings together Christians from all walks of life to engage in events that promote spiritual growth and healthy habits. We believe in fostering a community of believers, and our goal is to combine the spiritual journey with physical fitness and community building.
Why Calvary Race?
Calvary Race is more than just an event; it’s a race of Christians seeking to find and witness Jesus Christ. Imagine running alongside 50,000 brothers and sisters, reflecting on your faith at each Station of the Cross, and completing the journey at the Calvary Cross. It’s a unique opportunity to combine your spiritual journey with physical fitness and community building.
Our STORY
Calvary Race was founded out of a deep desire to create an event that marries physical endurance with spiritual growth. Our founder, Saji Kavalam, envisioned a race that not only challenges participants physically but also enriches their faith journey. What started as a small local event in Chicago has grown into a major movement, attracting thousands of participants from around the world. The overwhelming positive response to our first race encouraged us to expand to other cities and states. Over the years, Calvary Race has evolved, incorporating advanced technology and expanding our offerings to include virtual races, community-building activities, and a dedicated mobile app. Each event is designed to be a transformative experience, fostering a sense of community and deepening participants’ spiritual connection. We aim to continue expanding, reaching more communities and creating even more impactful events, with the goal of making Calvary Race a household name synonymous with faith, fitness, and fellowship.
Our Mission
To create an immersive, spiritual journey for Christians by organizing virtual and physical races that simulate the experience of running the path to Calvary, witnessing the fourteen Stations of the Cross and the Passion of Christ, and participating in the Stations of Christ. Participants will walk or run this journey, culminating at the Calvary Cross.
