About the race
Kilometers For The Kids is the annual 5K fundraiser hosted by Carolina For The Kids at UNC-Chapel Hill. Scheduled for October 26, 2025, the event invites runners of all levels to join a community-oriented morning at UNC Children's Hospital. While described as a road race, the emphasis is on coming together to support families facing hospitalization.
Proceeds help cover expenses not covered by medical insurance—such as meals, travel costs, and essential needs—reducing financial and emotional burdens for patients’ families. The 5K welcomes both serious runners and those enjoying time with friends, family, and fellow Tar Heels. Sponsorship opportunities are available.
