ST. BARNABAS
BETHLEHEM OR BUST
A Cincinnati church's journey to run, walk, cycle, or swim to the holy city of Bethlehem by Christmas of 2020.
OUR MISSION
Tired of being cooped up inside these last few months? Looking for a fun way to get active and simultaneously get involved with our community? Join us as we embark on the long journey to the Holy Land of Bethlehem! Everybody joining us on our journey will track how far they walk, run, swim or bike each week. Walk 2 miles on your own? Report it. Go on a family bike ride? Count the distance. Do some laps inside your apartment? Definitely. We will accumulate all the miles that everybody covers each week and report on our progress with information and trivia about the places we encounter on our
journey.
OUR ROUTE
We’ll start our journey by walking from St. Barnabas to Gander, Newfoundland. We’ll figure out a way to get across the ocean to Ireland. From Galway, Ireland, we’ll make our way across Ireland, the United Kingdom and the European continent with our sights set on Bethlehem where we will celebrate our arrival with a big birthday party.
WHERE ARE WE TODAY?
Miles Covered = 13,775
