Greater Purpose

Greater Purpose is a charity running and walking event in Bedford, Pennsylvania, hosted at Friendship Village Campground. The program features a 5K Run, a 1 Mile Walk, and a Kids Fun Run, inviting participants of all ages and abilities. The course showcases the campground’s natural beauty and amenities, offering a varied terrain with hills that challenge runners and provide scenic views.

All proceeds benefit missions through a local church, tying the race to a broader purpose beyond personal achievement.
