What is the Akita 5K?

The Akita 5K Run/Walk is a wonderful opportunity to raise money for the Friends of Akita Fund. All proceeds are directed toward Camp Akita scholarships for those requiring additional financial assistance and toward improving the Akita experience for all campers.

Bring the entire family!  Start the kids off in the Kids Fun Run at 9 am, where children may run or walk up to 1 mile around the park.   Team up with 2 additional family members or friends and complete the course as a Relay Team!  Each team member completes one lap around the park, handing off a relay baton to the next runner/walker. Cost is $50 per team, which includes 3 race shirts.    Day of race check-in begins at 8:30 am. The 5K Run/Walk and Relay begins at 9:15 am. Refreshments and award presentations immediately following.

What is the Cost? Ages 13 & older:   $30 per person Ages 12 and younger:   $15 per person Relay (all ages!):   $50 (includes registrations for 3 individuals) All registrations include a dri-fit race shirt.
