Healthy Kids prepares to host its 2nd annual 5K/10K/Fun Run Saturday, April 12.
Registration and activities will kick off at Confederate Park located downtown Greenville, across from City Hall.
Healthy Kids coordinator, Lisa Nimmer, encourages beginner runners, avid runners, first-timers and walkers to join.
“Come out and run or walk and help support a child in our community that needs your support,” said Nimmer.
Race day registration begins at 7 a.m. in the park and the race starts at 8:30 a.m.
The event, themed to Anchor Together to Prevent Child Abuse and Neglect, is one of the many fundraiser events used to help prevent abuse and neglect in the life of a child.
Nimmer encourages teams of 4 or more to come out and participate in the run/walk event.
“We hope individuals, businesses and organizations will register as a team,” said Nimmer.
“Teams can coordinate with matching socks, headbands, or complete matching attire.
Anything that allows us to anchor together as a team to join the fight against child abuse and neglect is something that we as a community should join forces in doing.”
Entertainment presenting by The Learning Station will provided after the race, featuring Movin’ & Grovin’ to the Hits Concert in the park.
Pre-registration is $25 or $30 the day of the event.
