11th Annual Kettle Krush 5K

Run for fitness! Walk for fun! There's a something for everyone at the 11th Annual Kettle Krush 5K run/walk on May 17 at Marietta Square, 1 1Cherokee Street, Marietta. Organized by The Salvation Army Women's Auxiliary, participants, sponsors and donors will be helping The Salvation Army "krush" poverty, homelessness and human trafficking while supporting veterans and youth enrichment in metro Atlanta. The event starts at 8 a.m. at the square. The 5K (for all ages) winds through a scenic and historic neighborhood of downtown Marietta and returns to the square. New this year is a 1K for ages 6 and up that also begins at 8. Tot trotters ages 5 and under run in the square at 8:45 a.m. Awards will be presented for first overall male/female and masters male/female runners, and top three finishers in 16 age categories from 10 & under to 80 & over. Medals will be given to race finishers of the 5K and 1K. Tot trotters will receive ribbons. Why not get a team of friends and families to join in? There will be special prizes for members of top teams (with a minimum of 10 participants) in categories--business, church, individual, school, and running club. Registration is open!
