Walk Kansas 5K for the Fight -- Join us!

Submitted by Sharolyn Jackson

Walk Kansas 5K for the Fight!

Celebrate Cinco de Mayo with us! The 3rd annual Walk Kansas 5K for the Fight and 1.5 mile Fun Walk will be held on the beautiful K-State campus on Saturday, May 5. While the 5K is a timed event, going the distance at any pace or style is just fine. Finishing is all that counts!

The purpose of this event is to promote healthy lifestyle habits that aid in cancer prevention. All proceeds from the event will support the Johnson Cancer Research Center at K-State. This year, a fiesta themed celebration will offer something for the entire family – even furry walkers are welcome. Plan to participate in the 5K or the Fun Walk and a 50-yard dash is planned for kids. The Pride of Wildcat Marching Band will perform and Sunny 102.5 will be onsite playing music. All participants receive a souvenir shirt and other goodies, as well as water and post-race healthful snacks.

More information is available at http://cancer.k-state.edu/newsevents/WalkKansas5K.html. To register, go to https://runsignup.com/Race/KS/Manhattan/WalkKansas5K. The 5K event is $25 and the Fun walk is $20. Prices increase after April 24.
