Get ready to lace up your running shoes for the CK Racing Back to School 5k on Saturday, August 16th, 2025! This exciting family fun run/walk will take place at the scenic Jackson Morrow Park in Kokomo, Howard, and kicks off at 9 AM. Join fellow community members, including kids, teachers, and parents, as you support local educators and schools in preparation for the upcoming school year. Participants can choose to race in a 5k, making this a perfect opportunity to get active while giving back!

In addition to the race, there will be a chance to contribute to the Education Foundation with a school supply drop-off table, where you can donate essential items such as pencils, notebooks, and more. Dress in your school colors or represent your favorite school—every little detail contributes to the festive atmosphere! All finishers will receive a medal to celebrate their achievement. Registration costs vary by age, starting at just $5 for those 9 and under, making it accessible for everyone.
