Nike has a simple mission. Get kids moving and give them the means to do it. The Nike 5K for Kids is dedicated to youth physical fitness: 100% of entry fees will be donated to local school Physical Education, play, and athletic program of your choice!
About me: The race on May 10, 2008 raised over $39,000 for Seattle area schools! Check out the event photos below and find your official time on www.nike5kforkids.com. We'll see you in May 2009!
The Nike 5K for Kids has raised over $1 million for schools across the country!
Who I'd like to meet: All entrants may choose between a certified 5K (3.1 miles) or 1 mile distance. Both events are open to runners and walkers of ALL ability levels!
I just want to thank Nike for holding this event. What a great way to promote the healthy lifestyle that we want to live and the added bonus of 100% of the registration going to her school. My daughter and I walked it last year. It was her 1st 5K and my 2nd. We loved it and we're looking forward to it this year!
