The third annual KMC Strollin’ for the Colon 5K Run/Walk event is taking place Saturday, September 11, 2021.

​

During this unique event, participants will begin and finish the race through our GIANT SUPER INFLATABLE COLON TUNNEL. The super colon is a giant, 10-feet wide by 13-feet tall by 20-feet long, inflatable tunnel that gives people an interactive look at the human colon.

​

This event aims to raise awareness about colorectal cancer and the importance of colon cancer screenings, especially to those who have delayed their care due to COVID-19.

​

Adults who are participating in this event with a child under the age of 10 are signing the waiver on behalf of themselves and the child under the age of 10 participating with them, and will be considered as one registration, not two. Any participant under the age of 18 must have a parent or legal guardian register and sign a waiver for them for the event they are participating in. The parent or guardian is also strongly encouraged to register them self and participate with the under age participant in the event they are participating in.

​

​Registered participants will receive a 2021 event shirt. 2019 and 2020 event shirts will be available to purchase for a minimum $5 suggested donation the day of packet pickup (cash or check only - limited sizes available).
