Kicks4Kids 5K Run/Walk
Kicks4Kids 5K Run/Walk takes place on July 11, 2026 at Point Park in Parkersburg, West Virginia. The event includes both a running event designated as the RRCA State Championship and a separate walk.
- 5K RRCA State Championship run (running only)
- 5K walk (walking only)
The event supports a charitable program started in 2011 by a local firefighter to provide free athletic shoes to local students in need. River City Runners and Walkers Club coordinates with local school nurses to identify children who need quality athletic shoes but cannot afford them. The shoe distribution program is provided at no cost to recipients and organizers report that hundreds of pairs have been given out since 2011.
Registration for the event opens March 2, 2026 and closes June 27, 2026. The listed registration fee is $30. The event is organized as a night race and lists local sponsors among its supporters. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
