You CAN 5k. This event is for EVERY ONE. EVERY BODY.
You won't get lost. You won't get forgotten. You'll run (or jog or walk or crawl) a clearly marked 5k course with friendly volunteers pointing the way! We're going to keep you motivated and safe along the way. When you're done we'll be at the finish line with a huge smile and a high five to celebrate YOU, because YOU CAN 5k!!
Leading up to your race, you'll champion others to donate to one of the local event charities. As your donations grow, so does your swag bag!
