What an incredible day at the Kick 5K & Kick-A-Thon Festival! KICK Kumite Classic

Thank you to everyone who came out, participated, volunteered, sponsored, donated, and supported this amazing event. The energy, community spirit, and turnout were truly special.

From the 5K and fun walk to the games, vendors, fitness challenges, dunk tank, and all the family fun, today was a huge success because of YOU.

A special thank you to our presenting sponsor, Jim Shorkey Auto Group and all the businesses who supported us.

We are so proud to support Team Kumite and so grateful for a community that continues to show up in such a big way.

Today was about more than just fitness and fun. It was about teamwork, positivity, and coming together for something meaningful.
