About the Kick 4 Kenya: The Race to Save Orphans
This race sends all its entry fees toward high-school education for orphans living in children's homes in rural Kenya, so the cause is the center of the morning as much as the course is. It has been running long enough that most people in Midland seem to know someone who has done it before.
Packet pickup happens the evening before at a church on Golf Course Road, with a second window on race morning at the same location. If you are picking up the day of, give yourself extra time before the start, especially if you still need to register.
