About the event
Welcome to the third annual 5Katie! The 5Katie event is a 10K and 5K trail run, along with a 2K untimed walk, created to raise awareness and support for pediatric cancer. In memory of Katie Cobb, and in partnership with the West Virginia Kids Cancer Crusaders, all profits will benefit care and treatment of children with cancer.
Join us on Saturday, November 16th on the Meeks Mountain Trails in Hurricane, West Virginia for the third annual 5Katie!
Race Details:
Packet pickup is from 7:30 - 8:45 am on Saturday, November 16th at the big red barn at the front of Hurricane City Park. All race participants can pick up their packets at that time. There will be signs directing you to the packet pickup, as well as to the start line.
The race start/finish line will be by the shelter in the “bowl”, located across the train tracks (be aware, and be careful). We will have volunteers stationed at packet pickup and along the way to guide you to the bowl. Please plan for an extra 15 minutes to walk to the start/finish line.
