Saturday September 14th, 2024

Shawnee, KS

Description

Unfortunately signups are now closed! We have hit capacity for the race and cannot accommodate any more runners. We may still need volunteers however, so if you would like to still be a part of race day, please reach out to one of the race directors. Thank you!

Signing up for the JayDoc Memorial 5K directly benefits the JayDoc Free Clinic, located at 340 Southwest Blvd and provides medical and dental care for the uninsured and underinsured population of Kansas City. The clinic operates on the help of both student and physician/dentist volunteers and is funded entirely through donations and grants. This 5k is one of the many efforts to raise funds so that the clinic can afford lab testing, medications, and supplies. With your sign-up, money will be going directly to fund this cause — to provide necessary medical care for those who would otherwise not receive it!

The JayDoc Memorial 5K is also in memory of our beloved classmate and friend Caroline Trupp. Caroline was a rising second-year medical student who was passionate about giving to the underserved and the JayDoc Free Clinic. She was also an enthusiastic runner and thus, it is with a heavy heart and great sense of purpose the we have named the JayDoc Memorial 5K in her honor.
