Kelli 5K

The 5k for Kelli is an annual run/walk event held at The Flying Field at Wegerzyn Gardens in Dayton, Ohio. This 3.1-mile out-and-back course follows the scenic Stillwater River, providing a family-friendly atmosphere. The event honors the memory of Kelli James and supports breast cancer survivors and fighters, with all proceeds benefiting the Breast Wishes Foundation to grant wishes for women with breast cancer.

Participants are encouraged to dress in fairy-themed attire, reflecting Kelli’s love of fairies, with free face painting and hair coloring available. Awards are given to top finishers by gender and age categories, making it a spirited and meaningful community event. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
