The event supports local children in need.
The “Smiles from Kara” 5k Run/Walk will be held on Wednesday, July 11. Race day registration begins at 5:30 p.m., and the run/walk will start at 7 p.m. at Eastern Regional High School.
5K runners will turn right onto Laurel Oak Road out of Eastern, and then run to the intersection of Holly Oak Road where they will turn right and run to VMS via Holly Oak Road.
The second water station is the mid-point to turn around and run the same route back to Eastern. This is measured to be 1.6 miles each way.
All proceeds raised are being used to bring smiles to the faces of local children in need via financial assistance for sports registration fees, scholarship funds or donations to local charitable events supporting families/children, as these were all things near and dear to Kara’s heart and would always bring a smile to her face.
The cost is $25 for registration before July 8 and $30 the day of the race.
