One of Mount Kisco's favorite events is back for a 11th year and we are excited for the Mount Kisco Volunteer Fire Department to officially take on year 3 of this event!

This year, we will be running in honor of Kathy Tilden. Kathy has always had a pivotal role in the 5K. She was one of the people who dreamed up the idea of bringing an event like the 5K to Mount Kisco. KT welcomed all with a warm smile and calm demeanor, even in the craziest of circumstances. She was a huge help to the Fire Department, allowing us to get up and running in no time flat. We will all certainly miss Kathy, but we know she will be watching over us on the 15th! We wish our condolences to her family in this difficult time.
