About
The K5K is a family focused run/walk/push designed to get the entire community involved! Our flat course is nestled in the cozy, neighborhood streets of Kirkwood (map) and promises to be a FAST, easy, and refreshing 5K. All proceeds for the 2010 K5K will benefit Backpack Beginnings (formerly known as The Backpack Program). Backpack Beginnings provides school aged children at risk of hunger with backpacks full of nutritious, child-friendly foods to take home over the weekends during the school year. According to Guilford County’s School Nutrition Office nearly 37,000 children receive free/reduced fee lunches. That’s over half of our counties school aged children! Help us stop hunger in Guilford County! To learn more about Backpack Beginnings check out this article from the News & Record!
