Jimmie Hale Mission’s Rescue Run

Jimmie Hale Mission’s Rescue Run  – 10K, 5K, and 1 Mile Fun Run

Join us for the 6th Annual Jimmie Hale Mission Rescue Run 10K, 5K, & 1 Mile Fun Run! On October 4th, 2025, join us as we proceed through the charming community of Homewood, starting and finishing on 29th Avenue South between 18th St. S. & 19th St. S. Race attendees will receive a high-quality race t-shirt & swag bag filled with goodies.  After the race, we will provide post-race food items along with water and sports drinks. We will be highlighting Homewood restaurant and business specials.  You can stick around for Awards or we will mail your award to you after the event. 

There will be a 10K Option, which will be a double loop of the 5K.  A pretty flat  5K/10K course.  The 10K will start at 7:45 am CT and will be a RUN-only option. There will be a time limit of 1 hour and 30 Minutes (a 14:30 Minutes/mile pace) to complete the 10K.  We need to open the streets of Homewood back up for traffic.

RACE BENEFITS

The Jimmie Hale Mission Ministries:
For three-quarters of a century, the Jimmie Hale Mission has been helping men afflicted by homelessness in downtown Birmingham through education remediation, job readiness, and spiritual support. To combat the current plague of substance abuse in our community, the Mission has shifted its focus from rescue to recovery. By addressing these deeper challenges we can help our clients once again become self-sufficient and productive citizens.

This dynamic approach to recovery and independence is offered for free to those in need. Our mission is to transform adults directly affected by homelessness, poverty-thinking, and/or addiction, into those who lead healthy, self-sufficient, and productive lives for the glory of God. Genuine transformation begins here.

FOOD FOR OUR JOURNEY
https://www.foodforourjourney.org 

Exists to deliver meals to the hungry, putting God’s love into action.

FOOD FOR OUR JOURNEY is a faith-based initiative which utilizes a food truck to deliver food to the hungry, thus removing the travel requirement for those who are not mobile.

​This problem is inherently present for those who are food insecure and are unable to access the fixed meal distribution locations during the hours when meals are being distributed, leaving them hungry and in desperate need of food.

​FFOJ serves seven days a week, building relationships with our street friends allowing trust to develop where they feel safe to share with us their immediate needs. From needing assistance with medicine, clothing and hygiene, to obtaining IDs, employment and/or housing, FFOJ is able to network with our sister agencies and “plug in” our brothers and sisters, ensuring these needs can be met and helping them toward their ultimate goal of ending their homelessness. https://www.foodforourjourney.org/
