Montessori Key West 5K Run/Walk & Kids Fun Run
About This Event
Caring for our bodies is as important as caring for our minds. Join us the morning of Sunday, December 6th as we throw a celebration of fitness and community and raise crucial funding for our dreamy little island school. This race offers something for everyone: Run the 5K race, walk the 5K race, kids can run the 1 mile race or the 0.25 mile race - all in a safe and easy location for the whole family at Truman Waterfront Park. Kids can play on the playground while the grown ups get their fitness, and grown ups can cheer for their kids using their bodies and having fun with their friends in the kids races. The event begins at the promenade at the USCGC Ingham Maritime Museum at Truman Waterfront Park. Award medals given for the top finishers in the 5K and 1mile races!
