We are thrilled to introduce you to the inaugural PK 5K Run, an event dedicated to
promoting health and wellness within our community, with a particular focus on the
well-being of our youth. In light of the challenges brought forth by the COVID-19
pandemic, our initiative has taken on added significance as we strive to support young people in maintaining their overall wellness.
The PK 5K Run is set to take place on April 27th at Bartlett Park, starting at 10 am, featuring a youth mile run/walk and a 5K for adults.
Adult Participants will have to complete the routed lap twice to meet the 5k goal (3.1 miles). Children participants will have to complete a special mile lap, adjacent to the park on Circular Rd.
As we prepare for this exciting event, we are seeking collaborators who share our passion for promoting wellness and supporting the youth in our community!
Thank you for supporting the PK 5K Run by being there!
Together, we can make a meaningful difference in the lives of our community’s youth and promote a culture of health and wellness for generations to come.
Most Sincerely,
The Poughkeepsie Run Team
