Bethel Rotary 5K & 1Mile Fun Run

The Annual Rotary/MKA 5K & 1-Mile Fun Run is taking over Bethel, and this year, the SLIME RUN is back! Join us for Bethel’s biggest, slimiest event of the year. It’s a great cause, a fun-filled morning, and the kind of memories your kids will never forget.

What to expect:
• Slime Blasting Stations along the 1-mile course
• Goggles provided for runners
• Wear red if you prefer not to be slimed
• Slime is non-toxic and water-soluble (easy cleanup!)
• The 1-mile winner gets a bucket of slime dumped on their head — or on an MKA team member’s head!

• Face painting
• Glitter tattoos
• T-shirt decorating
