Kin Wellness and Support Center, which provides free care to the cancer community of Bucks County, announces the Be Kind 5K and 1-Mile Fun Run in association with the Bucks 5K Series.
This year’s race will take place April 13 at Holicong Park and will feature a new route that will begin in the park, head down Quarry Road to Upper Mountain Road, turn around and end back in the park. The event organizers are encouraging people of all levels and abilities to participate and to run or walk to honor, celebrate, and inspire those who have battled, or are battling cancer.
The Be Kind event caters to both serious runners and those who prefer to walk the course. The day will begin at 9:30 a.m. with a family friendly 1-mile fun run, then at 10:00 a.m. the 5K will begin with runners and joggers positioned toward the front, and walkers in the back. This year’s Title Sponsor is LBK Design Build. Lorraine Jasper, a local world class runner and cancer survivor, will serve as the race ambassador.
Those interested in participating can sign up at: www.welcometokin.org/be-kind-5k. Early registrants are guaranteed a race shirt.
This event will also feature local vendors, food, music and awards. DJ Fit will be on hand to get the crowd moving. There will be free bagels, water, smoothies and bananas as well as food for purchase with a percentage benefitting Kin from Thyme and Plate Catering, Ardana Pizza Co., and Spuddy Buddy Fry Factory.
The Be Kind 5K and 1-Mile Fun Run is just one race in the Bucks 5K Series. To see a full list of races for the 2024 season, visit www.bucks5kseries.com.
