Master Kim's 5KTKD Scholarship Fundraiser

The 5th annual MKTKD 5K event will be held Sunday August 10th at Webster park.  Our last 4 #5KTKD events have raised over $20,000 for The Taekwondo Fund! This year’s event will have a 5k run/walk and a children’s 1 mile run/walk!  Everyone is welcome to participate and go at their own pace.  The events will be timed with medals awarded to all participants and special trophies for the winners of all divisions.  There will also be a virtual option for anyone who is not able to make the event in person.  Each event (5k, 1 mile kids run/walk, and virtual) will have standard package including a medal, and a deluxe option including the medal and event shirt.    Scroll down for the sign up links and specific information on each event.

Important information about the kid's 1 mile run:  This 1 mile course is meant to challenge our younger students ages 4-12 to see how quickly they can run 1 mile. Our tiny tiger students (kids aged 4-6 years old) are welcome to bring an adult guide (1 person over 13 years old) who will not be charged to guide them and motivate them on the course. The mile is competitive and timed and rankings will be broken into age level awards, but we do want our students to have fun and be safe so please remind your students of the following rules:

1. Please pass without pushing 2. Be aware of your surroundings, this is a grass course on a field. 3. Wear the appropriate sports gear. Sneakers only on the course
