5K Rx Run and Walk

The Kentucky Alliance of Pharmacy Students (KAPS) and the OTC Medicine Safety committee through the University of Kentucky College of Pharmacy welcome you to our third annual Rx Run! Our goal as an organization is to raise money and awareness for Be The Match. Whether you run or walk, everyone will be a winner for supporting this worthy cause.

Be The Match is operated by the National Marrow Donor Program and currently manages one of the largest and most diverse bone marrow registries in the world. This organization serves people with leukemia, lymphoma, and other life-threatening diseases and works to match them with a potential donor who could end up saving their life. Over the past two years we have added over 900 people to the national registry and we are hoping to continue our success this year.

There's no better time than now to start working towards a healthier you. We are here to support you and give you a fun goal to work towards. So grab a friend, get your running shoes ready, and start training! 

The race will be held at Coldstream Park behind the Embassy Suites hotel off of Newtown Pike. Race begins at 1:30 p.m. est. Please arrive 1 hour early for registration (12:30 p.m. est).

If you turn down Pisacano Drive and follow it all the way back, there will be a small parking lot. This may fill up quickly, so be prepared to find additional parking if needed.
