This run is hosted by Columbia Methodist Church in Columbia, Louisiana. It is held during October, when all of our pumpkins are out and about. This 5K goes through the historic downtown Columbia and all of the proceeds go towards the Columbia Methodist youth group and the Columbia Methodist food pantry, which feeds over 60 families a month.
