Supporting Area Youth
The BK5K, 5 kilometer road race and walk, is held to honor Bob Kierlin, founder of Fastenal Company and lifelong supporter of youth programs. All proceeds go to various area youth organizations/programs demonstrating financial need where races are held. In 2022 BK5K Run/Walks were held in 8 cities across the US and expanding to 10 in 2023 with one in Canada. Funding grants will be evaluated for merit and dispersed by the BK5K Youth Fund Award Committee in partnership with the Winona Community Foundation. Race winners have the opportunity to donate their cash awards to area youth programs and receive a commemorative certificate.
Revenues from past events were used to fund the Winona High School Nordic Ski program, baseball, orchestra, marching band and AP English programs, Cotter High School Canoe Club, softball fields, marching band, and H.O.T. math programs. Bluffview Montessori has benefited from funding for iPads and the Winona Area Catholic schools STEM program has received funding. Other recent organizations who have received financial support include Big Brothers Big Sisters, Winona Family YMCA, Junior Achievement, Winona Park and Recreation Department, and Home and Community Options.
Help keep the area youth organizations and programs going and challenge your own racing abilities.
