KFTK is a 5k race that raises funds in support of the children and families of NC Children’s Hospital. If you heard the word “race” and immediately turned your ears away, turn them back because I have a few reasons that will make you want to join in on the fun of KFTK! There is something for everyone at this event, whether you are a seasoned marathon runner or have never set foot on a treadmill.

1) Food
Our Sponsorship and Development committee works to ensure that there is plenty of tasty and filling food before and after the race. So come by early and grab a bagel, some coffee, and get ready to take on the 3.1 miles with your family and friends.
2) 1-Mile Fun Run
This shorter run takes place around the quad of McCorkle place. This is a perfect, shorter path for kids (or anyone who just does not want to tackle the whole 5k). It even has “fun” in the name, so it is undeniably going to be a perfect way to kick off your Sunday morning.

3) Superheroes and Princesses
Yes, you read that right. KFTK has earned the support of our Kid Co Captain’s favorite characters, including princesses that came out in 2018 alongside our KCCs. Some of our runners get into the spirit of fun even more, running in superhero capes as a reminder of the hero in us all and the difference we can make through KFTK.
4) The Most Beautiful Campus Ever
KFTK takes place across the campus of UNC. Start and end at the Old Well for a picture perfect finish that simply cannot be beat. Throughout the run, there are beautiful sights all around, including the bell tower, the Carolina Inn, and even our awesome athletic facilities and stadiums. You won’t want to miss a second of it.
5) Furry Friends Invited Too!
