For the past 12 years, the Umatilla Kiwanis 5K for the Kids has brought our community together to make a lasting difference in the lives of local students.

Every registration, sponsorship, and donation helps the Kiwanis Club of Umatilla continue its mission of serving the children of North Lake County. Funds raised through this event directly support local schools, classroom projects, STEM programs, college scholarships, back-to-school clothing, holiday meals for families in need, Christmas gifts, and countless other initiatives that strengthen our community year after year.

This isn't just another road race.

It's an opportunity to invest in the next generation.

Whether you're chasing a personal best, walking your very first 5K, or simply coming out to support a great cause, every step you take helps create new opportunities for local children and families.

This year's race begins at 7:30 AM on Saturday, November 14, 2026, at Cadwell Park and follows our USATF Certified 5K Course (FL19064TY) through the beautiful streets of Umatilla.

We're also proud to continue offering discounted registration for current teachers and students, making this event accessible to the very people we're working to support.
