Kilometers For The Kids is just a few weeks away, and it’s time to start training! The event, which takes place on October 15th, 2017 and features a 5K and a mile fun run, raises money for the Carolina For The Kids Foundation, which helps fund what medical insurance cannot cover for patients and their families at UNC Children's Hospital. Whether you have a great passion or deep hatred towards running, come out to support the cause!
