Kiwanis Club of Walker Miles for Smiles

Kiwanis Club of Walker 5K Race & 1-Mile Fun Run

Join us for the Kiwanis Club of Walker 5K Race, a fun and family-friendly event supporting children and families in our community. Whether you’re a seasoned runner or walking with friends, this race is a great way to stay active while giving back.

Proceeds from the race directly fund local Kiwanis projects focused on youth, education, and community support. With an expected 100 participants, the event brings together runners, volunteers, and local businesses for a morning of fitness, fun, and community spirit.

Participants will enjoy a well-organized course, event t-shirts, swag bags, and post-race celebration. Come run, walk, or cheer — and help us make a difference, one step at a time.
