Welcome to the 2nd Annual TK 5K hosted by the Friends of Fernandina Skate Park. This race is held in memory of Terry Kelly, a father who had a heart attack at our 1st skate event 8years ago.
The race will preceed the 9th Annual Terry Kelly Skate Festival, which starts at 1pm at the skate park. Terry Kelly Skate Jam also honors Terry Kelly. The skate park is also the home training grounds for 2024 Paris Olympian Poe Pinson. Poe placed 5th in Paris!
The TK 5K will run a route similar to the Shrimp Festival Run, however, the last 100 yards will be the same steps that Terry took beforethat fateful traumatic event.

Friends of Fernandina Skate Park is a non-profit organization aimed at promoting healthy physical outdoor activity, developing bonds and encouraging self-esteem through the expansion of our skate park into a safe, challenging and inclusive park. Through FFSP’s Boards for Boarders (B4B) program we are investing in our youth and by providing skateboards that they would not normally be able to get to help encourage a healthy, active and engaging lifestyle that will build character and develop bonds that will last a lifetime.
