Kelli’s 5K

Friends of Kelli Hutchison host a trail run and family walk at Windham High School.

Remembering Kelli

In the spring of 2010, the world lost a brave 10-year-old girl after a difficult battle with cancer. Kelli Hutchison inspired her friends both young and old to be courageous and never give up. To remember and honor her, Kelli’s friends host a 5-kilometer (3.1-mile) run and walk at Windham High School in Windham, Maine. Proceeds benefit the Kelli Hutchison Memorial Playground, activity fees in the Windham/Raymond school district, and Nolan Cyr, a local boy battling cancer.

Run or Walk With Us

Pick a timed 5K trail run on our cross-country course or an untimed walk around campus, both starting at 9 am.

Bridges, river views and a steep, rooty hill mark the 5K’s route along Windham’s cross-country course.

An untimed walk circles campus at a relaxed pace, a safe route for kids and families.

Both routes finish on the grassy hill above the school, where drinks and treats wait along with a raffle open to all who come. We honor the top male and female trail runners with prizes, and donations to the playground can be made online.
