In 1945, Ralph Harris had a vision…What if students could help take the Gospel to the ends of the earth by providing missionaries the necessary equipment, and transportation that they needed? This vision came to pass and since then, students all over America have raised over $300 million dollars, and have purchased tens of thousands of trucks, cars, vans, sound systems, and countless other essential tools for missionaries across the globe. 

In 2026, that vision continues. Scott and Crystal Martin are missionaries who are pioneering a new work of God in Iceland, but they lack the much needed transportation to accomplish this dream. That's where Arizona students come in! 

Run For One is how we are going to do it! Our goal is that every step taken, every mile completed, we will be able to raise the money needed to get the Martins the vehicle they need as they minister in Iceland. Scripture tells us, “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news” (Romans 10:15). We’re not just running a race… we’re sending missionaries. 

Would you run so that each one in Iceland may know God!
