About the Event

14th Annual 5K for Kelli

Presented by the Breast Wishes Foundation

Saturday, August 15th at 9am

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.

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. We also offer free fairy face painting and colored hair spraying! Registration and Merchandise tents will open at 7:30 am. 

Event Fees: Early Registration only $30! (through July 2nd) $35 Registration from July 3rd to Race Day (Register by July 25th to guarantee a super-soft and comfy t-shirt)
