About the Kidney Disease Awareness 5K & 1 Mile Fun Run/Walk
This race grew out of one family's experience watching their father go through dialysis and home treatment for kidney disease. A portion of what the event raises goes toward supporting patients and spreading awareness of the condition locally. The course and distance options are right for anyone who wants to show up on foot, whether running or walking.
