I'll be running this 5K race next month. It's at KHS so, if you'd like to run or walk it I'd love to see you there! It should be a cool mix of faculty, students and local runners. I'm looking forward to it, plus its for a good man (I taught Mark's step daughter a few years ago) and a good cause. See the info below provided and organized by KHS faculty and triathlete Meg Bennett.
On Saturday, April 18th at 9:00 am Kents Hill will be holding a 5K walk/run to raise money for ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease) as a part of Mark Hazzard Day.
The Course: The race will start by the campus art gallery, wind around campus, turn right onto route 17, and right onto P-Ridge. At the top of P-Ridge there will be a turnaround point. There will be a water station at this point as well. On both the out and back sections of Route 17, participants must stay on the CAMPUS side of the road and inside the cones.
Note to students: Students who have athletic competitions that day must check with coaches first before signing up to run. Remember that the course can also be walked and that this is for a great cause!
Entry Fee: The entry fee will be $5 for ALL students and children under 16, and $12 for faculty/adults. Our goal is to have all of this money go to the local ALS group. All registrations need to be in by Friday, April 10th. Make checks payable to Kents Hill School and to the attention of Meghan Bennett. If you are planning on participating, please send me an email so that I have an idea of potential race numbers.
Volunteers: If you are unable to participate in the walk/run, volunteers are needed. Please contact me if you are interested in helping out!
Awards: As of now, awards will be given to the top male and female overall, and to the top KH male and female student. Stay tuned as there may be more awards given out.
Refreshments: There will be water, gatorade, and fruit at the finish line.
PLEASE JOIN US ON APRIL 18th TO SUPPORT A GREAT PERSON AND A GREAT CAUSE!
