5K INFO

 

Costume 5K Race 

(Costume Optional)

 

Due to the success and excitement generated by our first Grassroot Soccer 3 v 3 tournament in April 2009, we wanted to increase the participation in the Grassroot Soccer cause and educate more people about the importance of the HIV/AIDS issue in Africa. So, we decided to organize a 5k race but not just any normal 5k race. This is a costume 5k race and it allows you and your friends to express yourselves while staying fit.
