Thank you to all of this year's participants, volunteers and sponsors!
Click HERE for the 2012 Akita 5K results.
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.
The Akita Council awards between $15,000 and $20,000 annually in camp scholarships for those in financial need and to help fund other needed items at Camp Akita. To help raise funds for these scholarships, the Akita Council currently holds two events each year: Akita 5K Race (April) and Akita Golf Classic (September).
Thank you to our 2012 Akita 5K Rock Stalls & Whispering Pines Sponsors!
