1 Miles 10k 5k Fun Run Run

The Road Home race is a fundraiser for Passageways. We work with homeless veterans and help them get back on their feet and into a place of their own. We have hosted a 5K and 1-mile fun run for the last 8 years. In recent years, we added a 10K, as well.

All races will start and end at the Plum building inside Sedgwick County Park. This is a USATF-certified race, and the Timer Guys will do the timing. The routes will be posted closer to the race, as will the schedule for the day.

Passageways Road Home is a very patriotic race with flags lining a good portion of the race route. We also will have a Presentation of Colors and Singing of the National Anthem before the start of the race. Your race bib will include a name of a fallen military hero, currently serving military member, or a veteran. During registration, you will be given the option to list a name you would like on your bib.

7AM - Registration

730: 1 Mile Fun Run Starts

7:50: Presentation of Colors and

Singing of the National Anthem

    PACKET PICK-UP: Friday, April 10, noon to 5 p.m. at Wichita First Church of the Nazarene (1400 E. Kellogg Drive). Packets may also be picked up on race day starting at 7:30 am at the race information table near the starting line.

    WHY ARE WE DOING THIS? For the ninth year in a row your entire registration fee goes toward building borehole wells and providing clean water education to villages in Africa. After 8 years, we now have 51 Wichita borehole wells in Malawi, Zimbabwe, Kenya, DR Congo, Benin, Ivory Coast and more--each one bringing abundant clean water to thousands of people every day. This water is life. We use this precious resource many times each day without thought or effort. Yet many people around the world don’t enjoy this luxury because they don’t have easy access to water and possibly no access to clean water. Many women and children around the globe spend hours each day in search of water; their lives revolve around this task. Often the water they collect is contaminated and causes diarrhea, which is the leading cause of illness and death around the world. Many organizations are working to eradicate this problem by building safe wells in communities one village at a time. Access to clean water

    reduces illness and death, increases school attendance, builds gender equality, diminishes scarcity conflicts and improves impoverished communities. Yes, water is life.

    Wichita Clean Water 5K partners with Nazarene Compassionate Ministries in Africa to bring life to villages through the construction of safe wells and clean water education. Many villages try to survive by fetching water from irrigation dams. Since these dams are meant for irrigation, the water is contaminated with diesel from pipes and generators. The water in these dams are further contaminated by animals, who also use this water source. Additionally, villagers bathe, do laundry and clean utensils in this dirty water. Community members often suffer from diarrhea and other waterborne diseases. Many women and children walk over 2½ miles to collect this dirty water.

    Your race entry will help bring more borehole wells and water education to even more villages. You can make a life-changing difference to a community of people by registering for the Clean Water 5K and inviting your friends to join you. Together, we can install a safe well and be a part of something much bigger than ourselves.
