Kick for Kenya

Please join us on Saturday morning, May 23 , for the 2026 Kick for Kenya 5K ! Run or walk for a cause - proceeds will be used to fund planning and execution of community development training and projects in rural southeastern Kenya in partnership with Kenya Kids (US-based nonprofit), the Touch Africa Child Education Project (TACEP, a Kenyan NGO), and other local Kenyan community partners. Funds raised will be invested where needed most, in particular to provide educational opportunities, improve public health, and address food and water insecurity. Our Kenyan partners' long-term vision includes construction and development of a community center with dedicated space for field staff offices, tutoring and counseling services, animal husbandry and agricultural demonstration plots, and hosting speakers/conferences for educational instruction and vocational training, as well as on-site housing for children or families in need and short-term international visitors. Race Notes: Registration, Entry Fees, and D on ations Early bird pricing is $35 per entrant registered by April 15. Note that all but the first $10 of the entry fee (which goes to cover race costs) is considered tax deductible. Entry fee goes up to $40 on April 16 (the cost to provide a K-8 child in Kenya with education for a month) and $45 (cost to provide day high school for a child in Kenya) the week of the race (Monday, May 18, through raceday morning). Additional donations (any amount) also welcome. Although race day registration will be available, pre-registration is highly encouraged so we can start on time and ensure we have sufficient bib numbers, timing chips, and post-race food for everyone!
