Kilometers for Kids is VIRTUAL
Kilometers for Kids is an annual 5k and 10k walk/run for individuals, families, and pets of all ages in support of Rebound Child & Youth Services Northumberland. Rebound’s programs and services have helped vulnerable children and youth throughout Northumberland County with timely and responsive services over the last 23 years. All proceeds help enhance the development of these programs and services to ensure every child, youth, and family has the opportunity to reach their fullest potential.
In the spirit of community and commitment to wellness, Rebound announces our virtual Kilometers for Kids run/walk event this year. Instead of joining together in person to celebrate wellness and raise funds and awareness for children and youth mental health in Northumberland County, we will engage together virtually. We are sensitive to the impact that COVID-19 has on our valued sponsors, hardworking volunteers, and generous participants and donors. The impacts of this virus have been far-reaching and made finances, family, and connection difficult for many of us. This year, we are offering K4K registration free of charge to anyone wishing to participate so that we can celebrate mental wellness together even as we are physically apart. Kilometers for Kids is about building mental wellness, and we need you to help.
This year, you will have a full week, from October 11-18 to complete your 5K or 10K. Alternatively, choose a different challenge altogether, such as dancing, skipping rope, hiking, or climbing. Take pictures of your creative challenge and share using the hashtag #K4Kvirtual2020 so we can build wellness as a community.
Please visit www.rcys.ca/kilometers-for-kids-2020 for your participant kit. Use it a guide leading up to and during your event. Included in this kit you will find helpful information and fun resources to make this year’s event a memorable one.
