Run and Polar Plunge Description:Runs will start and finish in front of the Meadowmont Club and be on pavement - a mixture of street, sidewalk and the trail. After the run we will meet for the Polar Plunge, a fundraising event hosted by the Meadowmont Club to benefit KIT's "Learn to Swim" program. Join us for refreshments, the tot run and watch those who have helped us raise funds take the plunge! 

Parking  is located in the swim club lot but cars cannot be moved until after the last finisher is in. Addiitonal parking available on certain streets close to the race site. Please follow all signs such as No Parking due to Bike Lanes, etc.

Awards- All participants will enter their age as of the race day and we will present all finishers with an award and enter their bib number into a raffle filled with goodies. Results will be posted on the website that week in alphabetical order. KIT strives to foster motivation in fitness rather than competition against others.

Kids!- If you want to have a fun run you must prepare for it so make sure you train well before the event. Whatever your distance is for the race, run that distance slowly until you can complete it without stopping. When you can do the distance, then try doing that distance a bit faster, even if sometimes you have to take short jogs in between intervals. Try to get in 3-5 runs per week and make sure you get your parents to try it as well!
