The Kipsongo Project 15th Annual 5K Run/Walk
The Kipsongo Project's 15th annual 5K run/walk is a fundraising event held on June 27, 2026, at Lapham Peak in Delafield, Wisconsin. The event is presented as a community run/walk with options for in-person and remote participation.
Proceeds support The Kipsongo Project, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit based in Kipsongo Slum in Kenya. Funds from this event will help sustain programs that include children's education at primary, secondary, and college levels; adult education such as computer and seamstress classes; microfinance and small business support; and agricultural projects like solar-powered irrigation, dairy cow and poultry initiatives.
The Project also operates a children's nutrition program providing three meals daily to enrolled children, preventive health efforts that distribute water filters and bed nets and provide health insurance for employees, curative health assistance for unexpected medical expenses, and a demonstration garden that teaches bio-intensive farming techniques.
On-site offerings include jewelry and homeware items made by women in Kipsongo, an auction, and snacks. Registration tiers listed for the event include Early Bird, standard, and late entry fees. All proceeds from the event are designated to support The Kipsongo Project's programs in Kipsongo Slum. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
