The Kosten Foundation announced that registration for the annual Kick It 5K benefitting pancreatic cancer research and support is now open. The event will take place October 30th at Shelby Farms Park beginning at 1 p.m.
The Kick It 5K is presented by Baptist Memorial Health Care. Runners, walkers, or anyone who would like to support the race can register on the event’s website at kickit5k.raceroster.com.
“We are thrilled to host our 12th annual Kick It 5K on October 30th to kick off November’s Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month,” said Alan Kosten, Chairman of the Kosten Foundation. “The community has always been incredibly supportive of our work battling pancreatic cancer and we are looking forward to seeing everyone running, walking, and enjoying their time together at the race.”
Registration is $30 to participate in person or virtually, and all proceeds from the event go toward funding pancreatic cancer research. The Kick It 5K is the Kosten Foundation’s largest fundraising event, and at its best-attended, the race has included more than 2,500 participants. Last year’s race raised more than $150,000.
