At Red Mountain Park, this one-hour trail outing offers six pace-based groups so participants can match their effort to their goals, whether aiming for mileage or simply enjoying time on the trail. The Fast Group covers about 6 to 7 miles at roughly an 8 minute per mile pace with continuous running and tough climbs, suited to experienced runners. The Intermediate Group runs around 5 miles near a 10 minute pace with a steady effort and one quick regroup for a social touch. The Fast Fun Group goes about 4.5 miles at approximately 11 to 12 minutes per mile, keeping momentum without turning it into a race. The Fun Group covers close to 4 miles near a 12 minute pace, running flats and descents, hiking the climbs, and regrouping as needed. The Beginner Group tackles about 3 miles at around a 12 minute pace on runnable sections with extra breaks and walking on hills, ideal for newcomers or an easier week. The Walk/Hike Group moves briskly for about 2.75 miles and is not a casual stroll, with some weeks on the flatter BMRR South Trail and other weeks exploring the old mines and Ike Maston for extra elevation. First timers can let a group leader or sweeper know to get help finding the right fit and to ensure no one is left behind, and all experience levels are welcome.

He has released a steady stream of singles and EPs, with 2023 highlights including Used By You, Love Like That, Fly Away, and Altar. Altar received an RIAA Gold certification, surpassed 100 million streams, reached No. 25 on Billboard’s Hot Christian Songs across seven weeks, and later received a remix from Ciara. He continued building his catalog in 2025 with BRING HEAVEN DOWN, RAIN ON ME, JESUS IS LORD, and his third studio album, CRY. Additional recent moments include a guest appearance on Brandon Lake’s King Of Hearts track Right In The Middle and a run on the Summer Worship Nights Tour alongside Brandon Lake and Phil Wickham.
