Hood Theological Seminary is excited to announce the upcoming “Stride for Scholars” 2K Walk-A-Thon, set to take place on Friday, November 22, 2024, from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM. The walk-a-thon will be held on the beautiful campus of Hood Theological Seminary at 1810 Lutheran Synod Drive, Salisbury, NC.
This special event invites participants from all walks of life—both in person and virtually—to come together to support Hood Theological Seminary’s mission of preparing bold and creative leaders for the Christian church in a diverse world. Registration for the event is $35.00, and all participants, whether in person or virtual, will receive an official event t-shirt (registration must be completed by November 15, 2024, to guarantee a t-shirt). In-person participants will also receive swag bags and enjoy refreshments.
Participants will walk 8 laps around the scenic Hood Theological Seminary campus to complete the 2K distance. Virtual participants are encouraged to walk in their own local areas and submit a photo of their completed walk to Ty Walker at twalker@hoodseminary.edu.
The proceeds from the “Stride for Scholars” 2K Walk-A-Thon will go directly to supporting student scholarships at Hood Theological Seminary.
