From the Organizer
Please join us for the 5th annual Jodi 5K Run & Walk to benefit the Lung Cancer Initiative!
This is a community event remembering Jodi Lynn Koviach who died from lung cancer in October 2021. Jodi loved running and even more the community and camaraderie it provides. There is no better way to honor her memory than by having this run, which symbolizes so much of what she valued AND supports a great cause!
The race is a chip-timed 5K run or walk with finisher's awards, t-shirts, and great post-race food and refreshments.
Pre-race packet pickup will be available on Saturday, Nov. 7 at Bull City Running - Downtown from 2:30-5:30pm.
Race day packet pickup will be available on Sunday, Nov. 8 at Forest Hills Park pavilion from 7:45-9:00am.
Race start time is 9:00am.
Not planning to run, but want to be involved? Please sign up to volunteer here!
**There also is virtual option for those of you who are out of town and would like to support this event**
