ECKAN to host 5K run, walk in late April

The East Central Kansas Economic Opportunity Corporation, or ECKAN, will host a 5K walk and run April 26.

The run will be held in both Ottawa and Emporia.

The goal of the event is to increase awareness of community action and eliminate the causes and conditions of poverty in ECKAN’s nine-county service area in east-central Kansas. Organizers are seeking sponsors and participants. Those interested should call 785-242-7450, extension 7100, or email shescott@eckan.org.

A flyer and registration form can also be found at eckan.org.
