Mary Free Bed Prosthetics Limb Loss Awareness 5k

Saturday, April 27, 2024 9:00am - 1:00pm
Veterans Memorial Park, 355 48th St SE
Kentwood Parks and Recreation is teaming up with Mary Free Bed to offer the Mary Free Bed Prosthetics Limb Loss Awareness 5k on Saturday, April 27! This family friendly event is designed to be a fundraiser for Kentwood Parks and Recreation’s Adaptive Recreation Programs. All profits will be channeled towards improving and offering more programs for people with physical disabilities.  All abilities are welcome to participate! Race will start and end at Veterans Memorial Park, 355 48th St SE, Kentwood, MI 49548. We will also be having a kid’s 1 miles fun run!  Kids will receive a t-shirt and ribbon. 

The Limb Loss Awareness 5K has quickly become a popular race and community-building event since inception in 2018. More than just a 5K race, this event's purpose extends beyond promoting health and wellness. The goals are truly three-fold: increase awareness of limb loss, build community and raise funds for Kentwood’s adaptive recreation programs.
