    Description: We encourage everyone to get out with your families and friends (safely!) to run or walk a 5K or any other distance. This can be done outside, on a trail or even on a treadmill. If you are not a runner, join us by biking, swimming, or doing any other physical activity you enjoy. This year’s FNSA 5K is free and open to all, but if you feel inclined and able, donate to our newly created FNSA Student Support Fund. This fund will assist active FNSA students at KU with emergency funds as needed. Submitted by: Melissa Peterson First Nations Student Association
