Kimberly’s Center's 5K Race/Walk Against Child Abuse is an annual fundraiser that takes place in the beautiful master-planned community of Calesa Township. We are excited about this special partnership which will begin at Ina A. Colen Academy. For the past 13 years, runners and walkers, who register for this race, joined the fight against child abuse and brought awareness to Child Abuse Prevention Month.
This fundraising event is focused on raising critical funds to support the programs and services for children in Marion County suffering from the trauma of abuse and neglect. Each year Kimberly's Center serves approximately 1,300 children and demand continues to grow.
The first 800 runners will receive a challenge medal. This is the fourth year for our toy chest series medal; every year there will be a different medal "Restoring Childhood Through Play."
We will also be giving an award for the largest group of registered participants in the event, whether you run or walk.
MUST USE ENTRANCE OFF SW 38 STREET TO GET TO RACE SITE. Race will start at Ian A. Colen school.
5080 SW 66th Ct. Rd., Ocala, FL 34474
