5Klicks @ Home ( Virtual Run/Walk) 2021

Short review

After canceling last year’s event and waiting patiently for COVID to be done with us, our committee decided we would take a chance this year and offer 5Klicks @ Home as a virtual event. To our surprise, the sponsors were “all in” and everyone we’ve spoken with has agreed – let’s do it. So, here we are, asking you to join us, over the next few months, in a virtual 5K run or walk. When you register you will receive a “bib” number. Keep that handy as you will need it to post your time. You can run anywhere and anytime but your time must be posted by Sunday, June 6, 2021 at 8:00pm. We are not awarding trophy’s or medals. We’ve decided to give everyone a pin that depicts our new logo. You can pick up both on Saturday, June 12, 2021 (see below). We are also offering to mail your packet but ask, during your registration, to help us with the cost. When you register you will see on the first page the course map, we’ve used at Marie Kerr Park; you are welcome to run that course or design your own route. Again, we thank you for supporting the Kiwanis Club of Palmdale West and our AVC Scholarship Endowment. **We must receive your registration on or before midnight on May 15, 2021 to be guaranteed receipt of a tech shirt.** 

Our Why: Eight years ago the Kiwanis Club of Palmdale West organized 5Klicks To Home to assist 30 local high school students who took the “OATH” and dedicated themselves to raising the funds required to build a wheelchair accessible “Smart Home” for a local warrior who was severely wounded in Iraq. The students achieved their goal and handed over the keys to the home in May, 2015. Although the student organization has now been dissolved, the Palmdale West Kiwanis Club members continue the 5K run/walk in their quest to fully endow a scholarship at the Antelope Valley Community College to assist a Veteran, or immediate family member, in furthering their education. Please join us in this effort to support and honor our military men and women as we welcome home our Veterans -one warrior at a time!
