Overview

​​The BK5K Road Race is held to honor Bob Kierlin, founder of Fastenal and lifelong supporter of youth programs. All proceeds go to various  area youth organizations/programs demonstrating financial need. Funding grants will be evaluated for merit and dispersed by the BK5K Youth Fund Award Committee. ​​

BK5K & Girls on the Run

The BK5K is proud to announce that we have partnered with Girls on the Run for our Knoxville race!

Girls on the Run, or GOTR for short, is a life-changing program for 8- to 13-year-old girls that promotes girl empowerment by teaching life skills through lessons and running.
