The Kosten Foundation’s eighth annual Kick It 5K fund-raiser will take place on Sunday, April 8, beginning at 1 p.m. at Shelby Farms Park. Last year’s race raised $150,000 for pancreatic cancer research. The all-ages event includes a 5K run, 1-mile fun walk, opportunities for spirit runners (T-shirt supporters), a survivor ceremony, entertainment, and food vendors. UTHSC faculty, students and staff are encouraged to create or join a team for the race. Learn more here.
