WE RUN FOR THE KIDS

 If you're looking for a race where 100% of the proceeds go towards children programs, you found it. 

​Kiwanis of Mitchell funds programs for children in Mitchell, surrounding communities, and around the world. Proceeds from the #PCKH are used to fund programs such as Girls on the Run, Kiwanis Woodlot Park, Safety Books for grade schools, scholarships, Eliminate Project, youth baseball, youth soccer, and more. 

CHOOSE YOUR RACE
The #PCKH is offering T W O race options in 2020. Take on the Half Marathon on your own, or grab your running bestie and run our Half Relay.

Half Marathon.

The #PCKH course begins with a loop through the city streets of Mitchell and then brings you past the start line in front of the World's Only Corn Palace, where you'll be cheered on by spectators, friends and family before heading out to circle beautiful Lake Mitchell. There will be water stations approximately every two miles or less with multiple portable toilets along the entire route. 

​Prizes awarded to the top 3 male and female finishers as well as top person in each age group.

Half Relay.

That's right... a Half Marathon 2-person Relay! The route for the half marathon relay is the same as the individual half marathon. The first runner will begin in front of the World's Only Corn Palace. The second runner will be bussed from the Corn Palace to the half-way point of the race. Due to the limited space at the half way point, all runners will need to be bussed. Thanks in advance for your help and cooperation!

​Limited to 20 teams.
