There are three ways to participate:

1. INDIVIDUAL WALKER/RUNNER
You can participate in all aspects of the event by registering for the Stride for Kids 5K Run/Walk. Those that register may also fundraise. Individual prizes will be awarded for those that fundraise, based on the level they reach.

There will also be a cash prize for $250 for the top male and female runner.

2. BE A PART OF A TEAM
Team up for the walk. Teams consist of 4 or more walkers/runners. Become a Team Captain and create your team today! Team captains must register first and create their Team Name, as the team name will be required when teammates register.

Each team member can also raise money towards the Stride for Kids event. Individual prizes and team recognitions will be awarded for fundraising.

Each team member must register for the event, prior to adding themselves to their teams fundraising page. 

3. VIRTUAL WALKER
If you can't make it to the actual event, you can still be a part of the Stride for Kids 5K Event and walk/run in your community. Virtual walkers/runners can register for the event and are eligible for prizes based on their fundraising totals. So, if you can't make it to West Des Moines this year or if you have a friend, family member or co-worker that will be unable to make it, recruit them to be a virtual walker/runner and help raise money for this event or for your team.
