Miles for Missionaries
Miles for Missionaries allows YOU to support Divine Word College students who are studying for a lifetime of Catholic missionary service. Many of the students at this intercultural college have limited financial means but no one who is seriously considering religious life is turned away. All fundraising for the event will benefit the education of the students at Divine Word College Seminary in Epworth, Iowa.
In this VIRTUAL EVENT, you can
- Walk, run OR bike!
- Set your own distance goal!
- Get involved for FREE because there's no registration fee!
- Make a GLOBAL IMPACT by raising money to support the education of Divine Word College students who come from all over the world!
Help us reach our goal of raising $22,000 - that's how much it costs to cover tuition and room & board for one student at DWC for the academic year!

Divine Word College
Students from around the world come to the small town of Epworth, Iowa to study at Divine Word College—the only Roman Catholic seminary in the U.S. dedicated to educating men and women for missionary service.
Although Divine Word is the smallest college in Iowa, it plays an important role in the largest international missionary order of men in the Catholic Church, the Society of the Divine Word (Societas Verbi Divini or SVD).
