Team Challenge 5K and 1-Mile Fun Run/Walk
St. Charles, MO- Lindenwood University’s Recreation Department will be hosting the 3rd annual Kilometers for Chris event on April 27, 2014. This year’s event is a team building challenge. Teams comprised of 4-5 members will compete in a fun atmosphere overcoming obstacles as a team. At each kilometer, there will be a different challenge to complete. All of the challenges are accessible for anyone but will require teamwork. There will also be a 1-mile fun run for those who wish to support the cause, or do not want to compete in the team challenge.
