Kick for Kenya and Clean Water 5k

Place

Eastwind Community Church
Boise, ID US 83716

Description

Please join us on Saturday morning, May 18, for the 2024 Kick for Kenya and Clean Water 5K!
Run or walk for a cause – proceeds from this year’s race will be used to help fund planning, training, pilot projects, and/or additional land acquisition for eventual construction and development of a community center in rural eastern Kenya in partnership with Kenya Kids (US-based nonprofit), the Touch Africa Child Education Project (TACEP, a Kenyan NGO), and the local community. A small plot of land ideally situated for the community center has been identified and purchased by TACEP, with right of first refusal to purchase additional adjacent acreage. The long-term vision for the center includes TACEP field staff offices with dedicated space for tutoring and counseling, educational and vocational training, agricultural demonstration plots, and on-site housing for children or families in need and/or short-term international visitors. Any excess funds raised will be invested where needed most, in particular to provide educational opportunities, improve public health, and address the compounded effects of several consecutive years of extreme weather (a prolonged drought followed by recent flooding), which has led to food and water insecurity throughout the region.

We ask that parents and guardians stay off the race course and do not enter the finish line area. Please remember the finish line is exciting, be patient while you wait for your child to make it to your designated meeting spot.
Tip: We will have markers at packet pick up so you can mark the color on the back of your child’s bib with that color (a little reminder for them, in case they forget).
Race History:
The Saint Alphonsus Capitol Classic Race was started by Ron and Betsy Twilegar in 1983 to encourage young people to become interested in physical fitness, especially running. At the first race held on September 2, 1983, 1,000 children ran from the State Capitol Building to the Union Pacific Depot. Through the efforts of Dr. Michael and Kirsten Coughlin, Saint Alphonsus became involved in supporting the race in 1987. The race date was changed to the end of the school year and has continued as a tradition for many Treasure Valley families.
Frequently Asked Questions
There is no registration or packet pick-up on race day.
Can I walk or run with my child?
Absolutely! Parents who want to run alongside their children are free to do so. However, let’s keep in mind the focus of this run – it’s all about our youth! We request having one adult per child for safety reasons. If you plan to run with your kids, we recommend joining them after the starting line or starting your group at the back of the pack. Let’s give our kids the chance to shine! Parents do not need to register. Parents will not receive a medal or shirt.
We partner with the organization, THRIVE, which provides volunteers to run with children who may need extra assistance to complete the course. THRIVE will have volunteers at the starting line to escort youth to the finish line, our team will get them set up with a volunteer if needed. Please be sure to select the option when registering.
What kind of precautions and security measures are taken to keep kids safe?
More than 250 volunteers team up with us along with Boise Police Department and Boise Motor Escort to carefully monitor the race from start to finish ensuring the safety of the children. Volunteers will be wearing shirts with “VOLUNTEER” imprinted on the front. At the START, adult volunteers stay with the children as they are organized in their individual age and gender groups.
Does my child have to run the entire race? What if my child cannot finish the race?
Kids of all abilities are encouraged to participate, regardless of their speed. Some children run the entire race but may walk, skip, or do a little of both. Just in case, we do have official pick-up vehicles for anyone unable to finish. Remember – everyone is a winner and all youth participants receive a medal and refreshments at the Finish Line.
What happens at the end of the race? How do I find my child? How do I find my parent?
Giant colored flags in red, blue, green, and pink, will be the Finish Line for all to see. We recommend that you choose a color with your child and designate that color of the flag for your meeting place. We suggest marking your child’s bib with the color. Please remember the Finish Line is exciting and chaotic, be patient while waiting for your child to make it to your designated meeting spot. If you get separated from your child, please go to the BOB FM Radio booth and they will announce over the sound system the name of the missing person.
Tips For Capitol Classic:
Pin your racer’s bib number to the FRONT of their shirt or outermost layer of clothing in all four pin holes.
Don’t cover the bib, make sure it is visible at all times.
Take pictures at home before hopping in the car.
Give kisses and well wishes so they will be ready to join their age group when you drop them off at the Boise Depot
No water bottles, we will have water available for those who need it before the start.
Children are encouraged to wear their Capitol Classic Shirt on Race Day
Start and finish maps will be included at packet pick-up.

Run for Dunn
2024-06-02 10:30 | Kristin Armstrong Municipal Park, 500 S. Walnut St., Boise, Idaho
What is Get It Dunn
The rally to Get It Dunn started in 2011 as a way for friends and family of Amy Dunn to stand beside her as she fought a diagnosis of Stage IV melanoma. Get It Dunn became both a support system and a fundraising effort to help Amy receive and get through the treatment she needed. Just as importantly, and all too fittingly, Get It Dunn was also a mantra for Amy’s “give it all you’ve got” approach to living life. She gave her best and demanded the best from others. She got it done.
Today, we strive to embody the spirit of Getting It Dunn in our daily lives to honor and remember Amy. Since her passing, Amy’s family and friends continue to Get It Dunn by promoting melanoma awareness and sun safety – primarily through our annual fun run, Run for Dunn.

The Summer BAM Jam Basketball Tournament Returns August 2-4, 2024
Presented by Idaho Central Credit Union

To get future updates, sign up for our email list here. info.bamjamboise.com/email
Youth teams and high school teams will compete on Friday evening and during the day on Saturday. No games will begin before 5:00 PM on Friday.
Adult teams will compete on Saturday and Sunday. Final games should be done around 3:00 PM.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are the games officiated?
Yes! Every court will have a paid official.
How many players on a team?
Rosters allow for 5 players per team.
Can I compete on more than one team?
Yes, but ONLY if the teams are not in the same division. For example, a player CAN compete in both the recreational division and the competitive division. However, a player CANNOT be on two teams that are both in the competitive division. Players found competing on more than one team in a division will be removed from the tournament and the games they played in will be forfeited.
*NOTE: if you play on more than one team, your games may be at the same time. We DO NOT take schedule requests so you will need to make arrangements prior to your game.
What divisions are available?
Youth divisions are separated by age and competition level. So it is pretty simple, players need to be under a certain age during the tournament to be eligible. The level they want to compete at is up to each team.
Adult divisions are based on height and competition level. Men’s 6’0 Over and Under with options for OPEN (the best teams), Competitive (middle level teams), or Recreational (teams that just want to have fun). Women have an OPEN and Competitive option. And each summer we do offer a Co-ed division.
The OPEN division is the top division and will feature the best teams in the northwest.
To learn more, visit our Tournament Information page here.
How do I register?
Each team will need a designated “coach”. This isn’t really a coach but the main point of contact for your team (Exposure won’t let us change the wording). They are also in charge of ensuring that each player on the roster meets the division’s eligibility requirements.
Simply create an account (or login with an account you may have used in the past) and fill in your team’s information. Also please select Male or Female for gender unless you are playing in the adult co-ed division. There are NOT youth co-ed teams. But again, Exposure won’t let us remove it.
You will need information for at least 3 of your players to register. You can change your roster later after you have registered by logging in and updated through the system. There is no charge for player changes as long you make them yourself. If you need us to make a roster change, there is a $20 fee.
What is the deadline?
The normal registration deadline is generally 2-3 weeks before the tournament. Check the registration page for specifics. If you complete your registration (signed up AND paid) then you are in.
If you wait until after the deadline, you are taking your chances, as spots will only be filled where available and with a $30 late fee.
