STROLLIN' FOR THE COLON

Due to the COVID-19 (Coronavirus) and guidelines now in place for the State of Kansas and Shawnee County, the 2020 Strollin' for the Colon 5K Run/Walk will be postponed.

The Strollin' for the Colon 5K Run/Walk's original date was March 28, 2020. Thank you for your understanding during this unexpected change.
