Online registration opens Sunday, February 14, right here!

RACE DETAILS

It’s hard to believe it’s the fifth annual Get Busy Livin’ Foundation 5K, but this is the year we go all out. This event honors the life and spirit of Dylan Meier, who still reminds us to live each day to the fullest. We are so excited to keep spreadin’ the message, and are expecting this to be our biggest year yet. Participants will start and finish at Hutchinson Football Field located next to Pittsburg Middle School. The course design is inspired by the number 9, which Dylan sported throughout his Pittsburg High and Kansas State career. Whether you are trying out this 5K thing for the first time or you’re a seasoned vet, this will be a grateful day for all. Let’s all get together and get our Saturday started off right, with friends, family, fitness and inspiration. GET BUSY LIVIN’!!
