WHat is a Blind K BLINDFOLD event?
You CHOOSE a friend to run or walk the 5K event with you and one of you wears a blindfold. Run or walk, it is up to you; just do it all safely. Its all about trust & community.
“If you want to go FAST, go alone, but if you want to go FAR, go together! ” ~ AFRICAN PROVERB
The BLINDFOLD is not a requirement, but only a suggestion in order for your to experience a small taste of what those with poor sight experience every day.
Upcoming Event - OCT. 26-27, 2024

A BLINDFOLD
In previous years we did not have a BLINDFOLD RUN. Instead we waited until the day of the run to tell you your required distance. So, if you look at the photos from previous years you will not see individuals wearing a blindfold.
Americans tend to be individualistic and independent, but visually impaired people know the value of community. If you have ever watched YOUTUBE videos of individuals running a BLINDFOLD race WITHOUT a partner, you see the negative and often painful results. DON’T DO THAT! This 5K run/walk is about doing things together.
$35 is the average cost of ONE International Cataract Surgery, thus the reason for the PRICE!
This fee, as well as sponsorships, will be used to continue our efforts to restore SIGHT WORLDWIDE.
