_ The 2024 Be a SHEro 5K Run/Walk:
Club Kokomo Roadrunners and Palmer's Jewelry will be hosting the second annual Be a SHEro 5K Run/Walk on March 9, 2024, in Kokomo. The SHEro 5K is a fundraiser and women's only race celebrating International Women’s Day (March 8th) while encouraging healthy activity in our community. We’re ready to make this a fun and empowering event.
Registration Costs: $20 until December 31st, 2023, $25 until February 11th, 2024, and $30 After February 12th, 2024 until Race Day. Sorry, but there are NO REFUNDS since this is a fundraising event to benefit our local domestic violence shelter.
Your Race Registration gets you:
Participation in this All-Female timed run/walk event
Participant t-shirt and Finisher Medal (as supplies last)
Register by February 11th to guarantee a T-shirt in your size
Registration Swag Bag including promotions from local businesses
The chance to win special age group awards generously donated by Palmer's Jewelry
Access to the Post Race Party (ends at 4 PM)
Post-Race Party will include free post-race snacks (until supplies last), local food trucks, vendors, music, and fun! We encourage you to run or walk with friends and celebrate the sisterhood of women in our community.
All money remaining after the event costs are covered will be donated to the Family Service Association of Howard County Domestic Violence Shelter. In previous years we were able to donate just shy of $3000! We would like to exceed that level and continue to grow this celebration of Women!
