THIS SUNDAY
Wichita Adaptive Sports x Fortune 88 Run Club x Scheels x Wichita By E.B. All Abilities 5K

Wichita,
Will you join us this Sunday, November 2, at 8 a.m. at Scheels?

Fortune 88 Run Club and I are doing a FREE (no registration-needed) community 5K event and invited the Wichita Adaptive Sports to join us!

We will be doing three laps around the Towne East parking lot in the morning. You're welcome to join for 1 mile, 2 miles, the full 3 miles or stand along the sidelines and cheer on our Wichita Adaptive Sports athletes!

Wichita Adaptive Sports is a local organization that specializes in adaptive sports for adults and youth with physical disabilities. We invited them to join us, and at least 20 athletes will be there!

The morning will be filled with music provided by DJ Carbon, a sign-making station by Play & Party Co. to cheer on the athletes, giveaways from Scheels and some very cool surprises you don't want to miss out on.

All donations made at the event or before will all go to benefit Wichita Adaptive Sports. Learn More

Get home insurance that protects what you need

Standard home insurance doesn’t cover everything—floods, earthquakes, or coverage for valuable items like jewelry and art often require separate policies or endorsements. Switching over to a more customizable policy ensures you’re paying for what you really need. Use Money’s home insurance tool to find the right coverage for you.
