About the 5k for Kali
The race runs through Morse Landing Park as a memorial to a young soccer player from the area who died in a car accident. The proceeds fund a scholarship for a Coast FA soccer player heading to a four-year university, so the entry fee goes somewhere specific and local, not just to overhead. The park setting keeps it grounded and personal.
