Searcy Kids Track Night- Fundraiser for a Library in Kenya with the Rotich Foundation

Kids Track Night is Back!                                                                                                                                                                                                                                

This is our first annual Kids Track Event to celebrate the joy of running while raising vital support for the **Rotich T Foundation’s library project in rural Kenya. Founded in 2024 to expand access to books, technology, and learning opportunities for children in underserved regions, the Rotich T Foundation has already opened its first resource and cyber-connected learning center in Kabarnet, Baringo County, empowering local students through education and connection to the world of knowledge.  

At our event, participants will enjoy a fun night of running and community celebration, while being encouraged to donate to help expand this life-changing library work. Joining us will be Jacob Rotich, founder of the library and a former All-American 10K runner whose vision fuels this mission; Tia Stone, Arkansas runner, RRCA coach, and founder of Kids Track Night here in our community whose passion inspires young runners;  and Coach Don Hood, head cross-country and track coach at Harding University, who brings leadership and encouragement to athletes of all ages.  

Together, we’re running to make a difference — building bridges of opportunity through literacy and health, both at home and across the globe.

We are excited to bring back this FREE  kids track event on Thursday, April 23, from 6:00-7:00 p.m. at the Harding Track. Kids Track Night is for all kids in White County, age 1-14.
