Friday, July 4, 2025. 7:30 a.m. The KID5K has become a summer holiday tradition in our community. This year will be the 42nd rendition of this event and we salute Better Living Inc. for stepping up in a most generous way as a signature sponsor of this event for the nineteenth straight year.
This year proceeds will benefit three amazing local children’s charities:
Central Little League provides area boys and girls with an enriching, challenging, and exciting baseball and softball experience. Salvation Army invites Charlottesville youth to attend the wholesome and exciting Camp Rappahannock (formerly Camp Happyland) each summer. And Charlottesville Community Bikes promotes environmentally sound transportation, recycles bicycles, and makes cycling accessible.
The race will start/finish on the grounds of the Lakeside Middle and Hollymead Elementary School on Friday morning, July 4, 2025. The course will be the traditional one through Forest Lakes subdivision.
