Kristy's Kindness 5K is a 5K race held in the United States during July. This event commemorates Kristy, who died unexpectedly. It is closely connected to the kindness tradition she initiated, rather than focusing on elite competition or a renowned course.
Kristy started performing random acts of kindness between Thanksgiving and Christmas to bring happiness to others. The race continues this practice beyond the holiday period: participants are encouraged to pay it forward at any time, perform a kind deed for someone, and share their actions, given or received, on the Kristy's Kindness Facebook page.
