WKCTC radiography students are hosting both a 5K run/walk and 1K fun run/walk to raise money for their Kettering Registry Review and the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists examination fees.
During the races, participants are doused from head to toe in vibrant colors at each kilometer. The race continues at the finish line with a gigantic color festival using more colored powder to create lasting memories and vivid color combinations.
Last year more than 200 people participated in the run/walk to support the college’s radiography students, who coordinated and volunteered at the event. Funds raised not only covered the examination fees for the 2014 class, but students were also able to donate money to the United Way, Kosair Children’s Hospital and the West Kentucky Radiography Alumni Scholarship.
The 5K run/walk will be held 5:00 pm rain or shine, and the 1K run/walk will immediately follow.
Registration for the events will begin at 3:30 pm at the Anderson Technical Building. The WKCTC campus will be closed to traffic during the event beginning at 4:30 pm. Individuals can register for the event now. Pre-registration is $25 before August 28, and registration on event day is $35. Children 12 and under are $15 per child. All preregistered participants will receive an event t-shirt.
