The Kidneys Quest Foundation 3K/5K Walk/Run for Health Awareness invites runners, walkers, families, and supporters to come together for a day of hope, wellness, and community. This year’s theme, The Heartbeat of Kidney Health, celebrates the strength, resilience, and support that help individuals and families navigate kidney disease.
More than just a race, this family-friendly event features wellness screenings, health resources, kidney-friendly food, raffle prizes, kids activities, live DJ entertainment, and opportunities to connect with others who share a passion for kidney health. Whether you’re chasing a personal best, honoring a loved one, or simply looking for a meaningful way to give back, every step helps provide hope, education, and support to patients and families affected by kidney disease.
Run, walk, or cheer—everyone is welcome. Register today, invite your friends and family, or create your own team and make an even greater impact. Together, we can build stronger, healthier futures because no one should face kidney disease alone.
