KRMC Welcome To Kingman Regional Medical Center

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

Kingman Regional Medical Center Foundation, the Dambar & Steakhouse, Rhodes Homes and Wells Fargo are pleased to announce the Fourth Annual Route 66 Race for Hospice. The event will be held on Saturday, May 12th starting promptly at 7:30 a.m.

The goal of the event this year is to raise $60,000, which will go into a fund to help build a Hospice house in Kingman (total estimated cost of $1.6 million). When this dream becomes a reality, KRMC hospice will be able to 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.

The Kingman Daily Miner and KJJJ Radio are the media sponsors for the event. Swire Distributing, Coca-Cola, Culligan Water and Shay Givens of Century 21 Highland Realty Company will be the beverage sponsors. Operation Road ID and numerous other businesses will be providing door prizes. Other sponsorship opportunities are still available. Sponsors donating $5,000 or more will have their logo on the race t-shirt, a banner and route signage. Sponsors donating $1,000 to $4,999 will have their logo on the water stations and route signage, while sponsors donating $500 to $999 will have their logo on route signage.

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 Visit Center but then meanders through historic downtown Kingman before finishing at Locomotive Park where the closing awards ceremony will be held. This year we have added 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 11th 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.
