❤️ Event Purpose
Join us in remembering the life of Kelli James and honoring all the breast cancer survivors, the fighters and the loved ones we’ve lost. 100% of proceeds go to granting wishes for women with breast cancer through the Breast Wishes Foundation.
👟 Event Details
The 5k for Kelli Run/Walk is a super fun event for the whole family. It is a 3.1 mile out and back course that begins and ends next to Wegerzyn Gardens and winds along the beautiful Stillwater River. Because Kelli loved fairies, we encourage everyone to dress up in tutus, wings, and flower crowns.
- No fairy gear? No problem! We have everything you need at the merchandise tent with all proceeds going to Breast Wishes Foundation.
- Face Painting: We also offer free fairy face painting and colored hair spraying!
- Registration: Registration and Merchandise tents will open at 7:30 am.
