The Trial Pilgrimage
24,901 miles. 31 days. One Congregation.
The Congregation runs scattered. Across countless cities and continents. Rarely in sight of one another.
The Ministry proposes a challenge. A show of unity for one another. A show of devotion to the path. A test for something bigger.
The Earth measures 24,901 miles at the equator. 40,075 kilometers. In thirty-one days, beginning May 1, the Congregation will run every one of them.
No single runner carries this. The miles are added together. The Congregation circles the globe as one, from wherever each runner stands.
Run your block. Run your trail. Run your treadmill, your track, your neighborhood loop. Every run between May 1 and May 31 contributes. Every pace counts. The path takes many forms.
Stickers will be sent from the Seat of the Ministry to top contributors by distance and top contributors by time on feet. Volume honored. Effort honored. Every contributor may purchase the same sticker at cost, first access before any public sale.
The tally lives in the Strava club. If you are not yet there, the door is open.
Something larger is being built. This is the first step.
