Kidney Disease Awareness 5K & 1 Mile Fun Run/Walk Natchitoches, Louisiana

Kidney Disease Awareness 5K & 1 Mile Fun Run/Walk is held at Natchitoches, Louisiana, on February 27, 2027. The 5K (3.1 miles) run or walk starts at 8:00 a.m. and the one-mile fun run or walk follows at 8:10. The event honours Charles Bonds, a local veteran who lived with kidney disease, and raises awareness and funds around the illness.

Ten minutes between the two starts means a household can split across both distances and still finish close together, with the mile suited to children and anyone new to organized running. The 5K needs no long build: a few weeks of consistent running and one weekly session of faster repetitions will have you ready. Proceeds go to local patient-care initiatives, so entry is as much a contribution as a race number.
