How to Train for Kilometers For The Kids

10/3/2017

 
Anne Claire Foreman is a member of the publicity committee.
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!

Here, we have compiled several student-friendly tips to help you get in shape for KFTK!
Picture
1. Live on South Campus

​Freshman rejoice, you have probably already put in enough miles to forgo additional training. Speed-walking across south campus when you’re late to your 8 a.m. is the perfect warm-up.

2. Train with the LFIT jogging classes

Beginner or intermediate, your choice.

3. Take the stairs to the 8th floor of Davis Library

​Make sure to pack lots of water, and be quiet!

​The 5k will start at 8 a.m. on the 15th, followed by the one mile fun run at 8:15. All participants receive a goodie bag, and the top three competitors will receive a prize. Help add to the over $5.8  million raised by Carolina For The Kids since 1999, and have fun while doing so! Register now at: carolinaftk.org/KFTK.
