LU
Hosts 3rd Annual Kilometers for Chris Event

Team
Challenge 5K and 1-Mile Fun Run/Walk

St.
Charles, MO- Lindenwood University’s Recreation Department will be hosting
the 3rd annual Kilometers for Chris event on April 27, 2014.  This year’s event is a team building
challenge.  Teams comprised of 4-5
members will compete in a fun atmosphere overcoming obstacles as a team.  At each kilometer, there will be a different
challenge to complete.  All of the
challenges are accessible for anyone but will require teamwork.  There will also be a 1-mile fun run for those
who wish to support the cause, or do not want to compete in the team challenge.

The
event will take place on the Lindenwood University-St. Charles Campus.  The course starts on the Heritage Campus at
Roemer Hall and runs through the entire campus ending in Hunter Stadium.  Both runs will begin at 9:00 a.m.

The
Kilometers for Chris event was started in 2012 in support of Chris Lister, an
alum of Lindenwood University-St. Charles, who was struck by a car while
participating in a 10K run and seriously injured.  All proceeds are donated to support Chris in
his recovery.

Participants

Prices increase after pre-registration. 
Sponsorships and volunteers are needed.
