From the Organizer
Get ready for a fun-filled morning at the KW Cares Costume 5K this October at Veterans Park. Whether you’re an experienced runner or just want to enjoy a casual walk with friends and family, this event is designed for everyone in the community to come together for a great cause. Throw on your favorite costume, enjoy the fall atmosphere, and help us make a real difference right here in Hendersonville.
Hosted by KW Cares, this event supports local families and community outreach efforts while also connecting to a national organization that has provided millions of dollars in disaster relief, emergency assistance, and support for families in need across the country. The best part is that the funds raised through this event will stay local and directly impact families and charities in our own community.
This will be a run or walk event, and all ages are welcome. Water will be provided throughout the event, and early registration participants will receive an official event T-shirt while supplies last. For safety reasons, costumes cannot include masks or props. Bring your friends, bring your family, and come enjoy a memorable community event for an amazing cause.
Register before September 1st to pick you shirt size. See you there!
