A Kansas City Kansas Community College tradition returns this spring with the 2022 Blue Devil 5K.
The Blue Devil 5K begins at 8 a.m. Saturday, May 7. The course winds through the KCKCC campus on the roads, walking paths and sidewalks.
The Kids Trot follows at 9 a.m. and is geared toward children 11 years and younger. Children will run according to age groups, and distances will range from 25 meters to one-quarter of a mile. No strollers are allowed.
Childcare volunteers will provide activities for the children from 7:30 to 9 a.m., so parents can participate in the run-walk.
Registration for the 5K is $25 per person. The Kid’s Trot is $12. Registration for both the Blue Devil 5K and the Kid’s Trot includes a T-shirt, Finisher’s Medal, Goodie Bag and an all-you-can eat pancake breakfast following the event.
Awards will be given to the top overall male and female finishers. In addition, the winner of each age group will receive an award and a prize.
