Kickin It For Katy 5K and 1.2 mile Walk
The event takes place on April 25, 2026, on the campus of Fairmont State University in Fairmont, West Virginia. It features a timed 5K run and a 1.2 mile walk, with the start and finish located at the Falcon Center Quad and parking available in the adjacent parking garage.
Distances:
- 5K run
- 1.2 mile walk
A festival called Katy Fest runs alongside the run and walk and includes live music, awareness tables (suicide, addiction, veterans, and similar topics), a National Guard pull up contest, food trucks, a large basket raffle, face painting, a dunk tank if weather permits, a cornhole tournament, vendors, and games. Awards will be given for age categories and overall top finishers, and cash prizes are listed for the top three overall finishers. Water is provided at the finish line, and participants receive food truck tickets.
Several registration and volunteer options are listed, including paid and no-cost volunteer choices and a separate entry for the cornhole tournament. Proceeds support a scholarship fund and the Marion County Humane Society. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
