About the St. Chris Cares for Kids 5K
The race is a benefit for a children's hospital, so the crowd skews toward families with young kids alongside runners going for time. The course is professionally timed, which means results are posted quickly after you finish. Light refreshments and water are out on the course and at the finish.
Awards go to overall leaders and age group winners across both genders. The race is organized through Tower Health, and a contact name and email are listed if you have questions before race day.
