The Center for Courageous Kids (CCK) is gearing up for the Fourth Annual Courageous Kids 6K Run and Fun Walk presented by Edmonton State Bank, Hyatt Place Bowling Green, and Staybridge Suites Bowling Green on Saturday, May 19, at Covington Woods Park.
Each year, the event has welcomed over 250 runners and walkers from across South Central Kentucky and Tennessee and as far away as West Virginia. Participants who join us on May 19 will enjoy the beautiful course that takes runners and walkers through the Covington Woods neighborhood. The 6K course is 3.72 miles and the Fun Walk is a mile loop. The event is a great opportunity for businesses, school running clubs of all ages, college Greek organizations, avid competitive runners, and the community at large to take part and have fun while supporting a wonderful cause.
All proceeds from this event will benefit The Center for Courageous Kids, a medical camp in Scottsville, Ky., that has served over 29,000 children and families from 45 states and 10 foreign countries, many of which have come from South Central Kentucky and the surrounding areas. Since 2008, CCK has led the charge in inspiring, empowering, and enhancing the lives of seriously ill children, and has held true to its mission and values by providing year-round camping opportunities to children and families at no cost. Operating solely on donations, the camp relies heavily on support from our community. The Courageous Kids 6K Run and Fun Walk will help send more children with serious illnesses and various medical conditions to camp, along with helping the camp fund programs that are not only fun but also build a child’s self-esteem, provide education, and will impact the child’s life after they leave camp.
If you are looking for a way to make a difference in the lives of children right here in our own community and beyond, joining us for the Courageous Kids 6K Run and Fun Walk is the way to do it! We hope to see everyone at the starting line on May 19.
