KAT-Walk & Karo-5K for Brain Aneurysm Awareness

September 24, 2023 Portland, ME 04101 US

ALERT - Date has changed to September 24th

New Date: September 24, 2023

Due to the pending storm forecast for this Saturday, we have made the decision to POSTPONE the KAT-Walk & Karo-5K for Brain Aneurysm Awareness until:

SUNDAY – SEPTEMBER 24TH

Family Gatherings/registration starts at 10AM,  Opening Ceremonies and Presentations of Scholarship and Research Grant at 11:30, 5K and Walk kicks off at noon. Still on beautiful Back Cove, Portland – but AT PAYSON PARK LOCATION, just off Baxter Blvd.

This was a heart-wrenching decision to make, knowing we were going to inconvenience many and disappoint other folks that cannot make the new date. However, the current forecast for our coastal walk location looks just too rainy, WINDY, and un-safe.

For those of you that pre-registered online and cannot attend the new date, a refund will be  available on the RunSignUp site OR we will gratefully accept your registration fee as a donation and will mail you a T-shirt after the walk with our thanks.

Please help us get the word out - follow us on Facebook for Daily Updates…
