Race Information

The Crusaders for Kids 5K Run/Walk occurs October 9-17. It will raise much-needed funds and creates awareness about child abuse in our community. Any hero can join the crusade against child abuse. Adams County Children’s Advocacy Center brings together law enforcement, child protection, prosecution, mental health, medical and victim advocates – to work together in helping end child abuse.

You can be a crusader too by signing up for the Crusaders for Kids 5K.

Each year, Adams County Children’s Advocacy Center helps approximately 250 children. If 250 members of our community participate, this event will be a huge success! 

Participants receive the following: 

• Participants will receive a Crusaders for Kids neck gaiter 
• Kids ages 12 and under receive our Crusaders for Kids superhero cape 
• Crusaders for Kids virtual 5K Run/Walk Bib (downloadable only) 
• Crusaders for Kids virtual 5K Run/Walk Finisher Certificate (downloadable only)

Let us know you finished the run/walk, send us your photos, and post your results. We’re proud of you for finishing and you should be proud too! You can print your Finisher Certificate and display it for all to see.
