Get outside with Creekside!
We are called by God to community and fellowship together (Acts 2:42). Creekside Outside is a hub designed to connect individuals who share a passion for the outdoors. You'll find events that suit your level of adventure and risk and meet new friends who share your interests – outside. Activities range from mild to wild, are always informal and fun, and led by volunteers who love God's creation.

JFK 50 Mile Walking Challenge
The JFK 50 is a challenge to walk 50 miles in one day. It was first issued in 1963 by then President John F. Kennedy, and was based on a requirement that President Teddy Roosevelt had set for his own military officers.
Feel free to do this on your own, with friends, or even tag team it with your LifeGroup. The walk is done on a loop just over 8 miles long, and we’ll walk it six times. Last year’s walkers took 16 hours and 8 minutes to complete the challenge. You may not be able to finish, but you can certainly participate!
The route will open at 4:00 am in the Creekside parking lot, and you can start whenever you arrive.
Contact Quinton Miller at (916) 502-3421 for more information or to RSVP.
