KRMC Foundation Announces Route 66 10k, 5k and 3-Mile Walk

Kingman Regional Medical Center Foundation, the Dambar & Steakhouse, and Desert Construction are pleased to announce the Fifth Annual Route 66 Race for Hospice. The event will be held on Saturday, May 10th starting promptly at 7:30 a.m.

The goal of the event this year is to raise funds to help in the building and operation of the Joan and Diana Hospice Home in Kingman. This home will offer hospice services to those individuals who are dying from a terminal illness but do not have a caregiver, or live too far out of town to obtain hospice service.

Local sponsors include Brackett Aircraft, Culligan Water, Deana Nelson State Farm Insurance, Findlay Nolte Honda, First American Title, Mission Bank, Mohave State Bank, Monica Busch Investments, Outland Enterprises, Rhodes Homes, Safeway and Taylor Ross Associates. Operation Road ID and numerous other businesses will be providing door prizes

The 10k and 5k races begin and end at the Powerhouse Visitor Center on Route 66/Andy Devine. The route continues up the El Trovatore hill. The 5k turnaround point is at the crest of the hill, but the 10k continues up Hualapai Mountain Road turning around just past the Copper Ridge apartments, and follows the same route back. The 3-mile walk also starts at the Powerhouse Visitor Center but then meanders through historic downtown Kingman before finishing at Locomotive Park where the closing awards ceremony will be held. There will also be a one-mile run for juniors 12 years and under.

Entry fee is $25 for adults and $15 for children (12 years and younger) prior to May 1st. The fee for adults is $30 thereafter. Participants who raise $100 or more in pledges will have their entry fee waived and be eligible for prizes at the awards party afterwards. All participants will receive a colorful t-shirt and grab bag. Prizes will be awarded to the 10k and 5k top three finishers for each age group by gender.

Packet pick-up will be on Friday, May 9th from 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. at the Dambar & Steakhouse. All participants who pick up their packets there will receive a coupon for 20% off their dinner that evening at the Dambar.

This promises to be a premiere event. Participants can sign up on line at www.azkrmc.com/race or call Jamie Taylor at 928/757-0664.
