The 5K run/1-mile walk “Run Like Kat” Road Race is an opportunity to bring our community together to remember Katarina “Kat” Boskovic, honor her legacy and celebrate her many incredible, positive qualities. Among these attributes, Kat was incredibly kind, inclusive, funny and had a unique ability to always see the good in people. While the sadness and impact of her loss remain, Be Like Kat (Kat Boskovic Memorial Fund) will allow Kat’s legacy also to remain with us and positively impact our community. Kat was a superb student athlete, mentor and youth track coach, yet above all, she adored her family and was a loving, loyal and genuine friend who touched so many lives. While we should all aspire to Be Like Kat, let’s honor her on Friday, 11/27 and together Run Like Kat! Any personal donation of $100 or more, made by 11/8/26, will be listed on race shirts alongside our event sponsors.
