Bun Run- 5K & 1Mile Fun Run

Join us the first Saturday in May for Wesley UMC Bun Run 5k/1 mile fun run! By participating in the Bun Run you will help support Wesley UMC's mission work.

Our local mission programs include ALLOT which is a store that El Reno teachers can get classroom supplies at no cost; Blessing Boxes-15 food pantry boxes located throughout El Reno to help the hungry; Book Mobile giving free books to area children; Dolly Imagination Library Affiliate; and we also have local mission teams to help people in the community with yard cleanup and house repairs. Our foreign teams work with and support the Hands Together ministry that builds schools, medical clinics, homes, and community centers for the impoverished people of Northern Mexico. We always look for ways to support our community and schools. This run is in conjunction with the El Reno Burger Day Festival. This festival is held downtown El Reno just one block west of the Bun Run. Enjoy multiple stages of entertainment/music, games, rides, antique car show, merchants, and food.
