The event will kick off with a 5K race at 8 a.m. Day-of-race registration is $30 and participants will receive a pancake breakfast and a T-shirt. Pre-registration is $25. The pancake breakfast begins at 9 a.m. and costs $5 for adults and $3 for children for those not participating in the race.

The community is also invited to take an escorted nature walk in the park while bind folded or to guide a sightless person through the Walk with the Blind course. Registration for the walk is $10.

Registration is available online for all of the events at www.walkwiththeblind.org.

The family event will also include a clown, face painting, live music and educational booths.
