Courses de 5K près de Ralston

Pour info, il y a la Creighton University School of Medicine Walk for Wishes, un 5K course/marche qui se déroule à Chalco Hills Recreation Area, au bord du Wehrspann Lake, à Omaha, Nebraska. Le retrait des dossards et les inscriptions commencent à 8h du mat, devant le Chalco Hills Recreation Building, avec un départ à 9h. C'est un événement caritatif pour la communauté, et tous les bénéfices (100%) sont reversés à Make-A-Wish Nebraska. Ça réunit les étudiants en médecine de Creighton, les soutiens de l'école, les habitants d'Omaha, les familles et les gamins. Les enfants de 5 ans et moins peuvent faire le 5K sans payer. En t'inscrivant, tu as un t-shirt de la course, de quoi te rafraîchir, des trucs à grignoter et un ticket pour la tombola. Tu pourras acheter d'autres tickets de tombola et il y aura des enchères le jour J. C'est la 43ème édition cette année, et le but est d'aider à réaliser les vœux des enfants atteints de maladies graves. Ceux qui ne peuvent pas être là peuvent quand même soutenir la mission de Make-A-Wish.

L'événement est pensé pour les familles, avec un 5k pour les adultes (13+), une catégorie 5k distincte pour les enfants de 12 ans et moins, et une option 5k pour les seniors et les étudiants.
