My name's Ivan!
For me, running has never just been about miles, times, or medals. It has been about growth. It has been about learning how to keep going when everything in you wants to stop. It has been about discovering that the same God who gives me strength to keep running is the same God who carries me through life when the weight feels too heavy.
Starting Chosen Run Club was not about creating another running group. My heart behind it is so much bigger than that. I wanted to build a space where people can come as they are, no matter their pace, no matter their background, no matter where they are in life or in their faith. I wanted a community where discipline meets encouragement, where health meets purpose, and where every step we take is a reminder that we are chosen by God for something greater.
Every run is a chance to push past excuses, every mile is a chance to remember we are stronger than we think, and every gathering is a chance to build each other up in faith and in life.
My prayer is that this run club becomes more than just people showing up to get some miles in. I hope it becomes family. I hope it becomes a place where people find consistency, accountability, joy, and maybe even healing.
I know not every run will be easy, just like not every season in life is easy. But when we run together, encourage each other, and keep Christ at the center, there is no limit to how much we can grow.
So welcome to Chosen Run Club. Whether this is your first mile or your thousandth, you belong here. Let's run with purpose.
Let's grow together. And most importantly, let's keep our eyes on the One who called us.
