It's the day of the big trail race, and all the kids are excited-except Liam. What if he falls, like last year? He can't lose again! With Zoe and Eli's prayerful encouragement, Liam sets out, flies over sticks, pebbles, and leaves to the front of the pack. But just when the finish line is in sight, an accident on the trail challenges Liam to choose what he values most. Will he leave his friends behind to win the trophy?

Young children will thrill to the excitement of the race in this engaging portrayal of kids growing in their Christian faith by learning victory doesn't always mean bringing home the trophy.
