Participants will pick up their race packet (which still includes a festive long sleeve tech shirt), starting at 7:30 am.
After crossing the finish line, participants can grab a treat! And we will have our awards ceremony again this year!

Proceeds from this 5k will support the Backpack Program for students of KVSC. The Backpack Program is designed to meet the needs of hungry children at times when other resources are not available, especially on weekends. Qualified students are selected by teachers and administrators and sent home every Friday with a backpack full of nutritious, kid-friendly food.
PRICE INCREASE ON NOVEMBER 14, so sign up before that date to guarantee your shirt!
