2021 KMC Strollin' for the Colon 5K Run/Walk 📅 9/11/21
Guess who's back, back again? KMC is back, TELL A FRIEND! That's right folks, KMC's third annual Strollin' for the Colon 5K Run/Walk is back in-person this year on Saturday, September 11, 2021.
Remember: 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. All of the proceeds go to the American Cancer Society of Kansas. Please note that although this is an outdoor in-person event, we are requiring face masks to be worn at all times when not running/walking, in accordance with recent CDC guidelines.
Don't forget ‼️ that our GIANT SUPER INFLATABLE COLON TUNNEL will be at the start and end of the race (pictured below in case you forgot what it looked like). 😉
📍 We'll be waiting for you at MacLennan Park Trail, located off 6th Ave and Governors Lake Rd in Topeka, KS. Any last-minute packet pickup or registration will start at 7:45am. Make sure to wear appropriate attire for the pea rock gravel trail and pavement sidewalk. Race starts at 8:30am sharp.
Registration cost is $20. Colon cancer survivors receive FREE registration. Contact Taylor at tcowen@kmcpa.com for more details. Survivors MUST register to participate. For more information, visit www.kmcpa.com/5k.

We can't wait to see everyone this year...we missed seeing you in-person in 2020!

Glad to see the Strollin' for the Colon 5K back in person, with a walk option so more people can take part. Events like this make it easier to get outside and move at your own pace while supporting screening awareness. On quieter days I like something even slower: tai chi walking, a few minutes of deliberate steps and breathing at home. A beginner guide is here: https://taichi-walking.com/
Great initiative to support colorectal cancer awareness and screenings through the 5K run/walk event. Physical activity and mental well-being go hand in hand. After exercising, fun games like Pokemon 2D Arena are great for relaxing. Wishing everyone participating all the best!
Great cause to raise awareness and support colorectal cancer screenings through the 5K run! Staying active and healthy is so important. In between workouts, I've been relaxing with web games like Pokemon 2D Arena for fun. Best wishes to everyone participating!
Screening walks like this help people catch up on delayed care. A related resource is G1 Practice.
Glad this screening walk is highlighted for people who delayed care. A related resource I use is G1 Practice.
