We will be hosting the 30th annual Chester Kiwanis 5K Race on Saturday, May 23, 2026. This 3.1 mile race is a popular community event and an important fundraiser for the Kiwanis Club of Chester. This event draws in more than 300 runners and walkers to connect with each other, appreciate our town, enjoy a hot breakfast and most of all, support our mission of serving the children of the world.
The Chester Kiwanis are celebrating their 50th Anniversary of serving the Chester community.
The hot breakfast is cooked by the Chester Presbyterian Church at the concession stand, it is free to the runners with a $5 donation for others who want the dinner. There is also water, fruit, and other snacks available for all in the Pavilion.
Thanks to the support from the running and business community. Confluence Running will be photographing the event for free. OrangeTherapy will be onsite again.
Thanks to the Orange Runners Club https://www.orangerunnersclub.org/ for making our 5K part of the Grand Prix.
