Alpha Run

About the Event

The Alpha Run is a fundraising event to support the construction of the new “Alpha Building” at Sunrise Christian Academy. The Alpha Building will be constructed in phases and will include a theater, a gymnasium, and a tornado shelter to serve both our school and community. This exciting new building will showcase our students’ God-given gifts. The Alpha Run includes a 5k race, 1-mile fun run, 200-meter race for the littles, an indoor pancake breakfast, and other activities designed to bring together students, families, and the community. The event will raise funds for the Alpha Building, while promoting local businesses, encouraging healthy lifestyles, and strengthening community connections. The event will take place on Saturday, November 7, 2026 at the school campus in Bel Aire, KS.
