The Drew Kostic Memorial 5K

Run as one or gather up a team of battle buddies to come with you! The DK5K is a 5K obstacle course run happening to raise awareness about veteran suicide. Plan on uneven terrain, water, mud, hills, and various obstacles. Obstacles may be team oriented to promote asking for help and looking out for each other. Funds raised support our transitional housing project: Belay My Last Barracks, the Staff Sergeant Drew Kostic Veterans' scholarship, and everyday needs we address on an ongoing basis for our local veterans.

Pricing

Cost is $55/person, $220 per team of 4, kids 12 & Under only $25 (shirt not included). Please note there is an additional online processing fee upon check-out when you register. NOTE: there will be no walk-in registration.

Become a Fundraiser: Receive $50 of your registration back when you reach the goal of $150! 

Launch your own fundraiser and help us spread awareness about veteran suicide and our cause by sharing with your friends, family, and co-workers about why you take on the challenge of the DK5K Tough Run. The support you raise will all go back out to help and support local veterans and carry our message of awareness forward to those that may not have known otherwise. You will be given the option to fundraise during registration. Feel free to edit the page to fit your audience.
