Camp Agapè hosting 5K and kickball fundraiser at Johnson Park in Marble Falls

Help those mourning the loss of a loved one get a running start on recovery by participating in the Camp Agapè Super Soaker Memorial 5K on Aug. 28 at Johnson Park, 230 Avenue J in Marble Falls. In addition to the 5K race, the daylong event includes booths from local vendors, snow cones, a classic car show, a kickball tournament, and a super-soaking cooldown for race participants.
“This is our seventh annual Memorial 5K,” said Camp Agapè Executive Director Courtney Robinson. “This year, we wanted to make it a little more family-friendly, and so we’re adding a water soaker element to it.”
Camp Agapè is a faith-based organization that provides grief counseling and resources to children and families experiencing the loss of a loved one. It hosts summer camps and family retreats.
The 5K is a fundraiser; all proceeds go to the camp, which is free to those who attend.
Registration for the 5K and a Kids’ Walk begins at 7 a.m. Aug. 28. Participation fees are $25 for ages 13 and older and $10 for ages 12 and younger. During the event, spectators will spray water from super soakers onto the runners and walkers.
Pre-registered participants will receive a free T-shirt.
Attendees also can pay to play in a kickball tournament that starts at 11 a.m. Fees are $30 for ages 13 and older and $15 for ages 12 and younger. Teams of up to 10 can participate, paying a group price of $250 for ages 13 and older and $100 for ages 12 and younger.
The car show and vendor booths open to the public starting at 10 a.m.
