Life in the Son, for its part, has come up with a creative way to add miles through hiking.
On Saturday, Dec. 8, a group with Life in the Son went for a hike at the Sound of Music Hill in Kanat Tabla. This coming Saturday, they plan to head to the northside of the island.
Meanwhile, the virtual challenge continues to grow with a total of 140 participants so far.
“It’s not too late to join and finish 2020 well,” said race organizer and Life in the Son pastor Eric Abragan. “Registration is free and all are welcome. And there will be prizes for the top finisher and exciting raffle prizes at the end of the challenge.”
