KINGDOM KARES Charity Run Challenge!

Are you ready to lace up your running shoes and make a difference in our community? We're thrilled to invite you to participate in the Kingdom Kares Charity Run, hosted by Animal Kingdom Athletics, on June 1st, 2024!

This exciting event isn't just about breaking a sweat; it's about coming together to support our neighbors in need. For this event, we focused on helping The Ballard Center right here in Lawrence, KS, and 100% of the proceeds from this event will go directly to them. Your participation will help provide vital resources and support to individuals and families in our community.

Run Challenge Rules:

1. Run one mile in 20 minutes to start.
2. Whatever time is left in the 20 minutes after completing the mile, you'll have that long to rest. (Example: Finish the mile in 10 minutes, rest 10 minutes).
3. Rests are mandatory.
4. Each completed mile will have a minute cut from the time cap. First mile = 20 minutes, second mile = 19 minutes, 3rd mile = 18 minutes, etc.
5. EVERYBODY is welcome to join in on the run. If you can't run or don't like to run, you can walk it.
6. We run until there is only one competitor left standing!

Dogs are welcome and must be introduced to AKA staff. (Not for safety or anything, just because we love dogs and we want first pets. 😉)

Invite your friends, family, neighbors, mailman, delivery woman, everybody! The more, the merrier! Let's come together as a community and show our support for a great cause. 

Don't miss out on this opportunity to make a difference while having fun and staying active. Mark your calendars, spread the word, and get ready for an unforgettable day of charity and camaraderie!
