The Carey Family Pound the Pavement 5K Run/Walk & 1 Mile Fun Run/Stroller Strut/Dog Walk is a fundraising event organized by the Coach Carey Foundation.

Kevin was the Pendleton Heights Middle School track and cross-country coach for 7 years, and he was a volunteer AAU track and cross-country coach for 10 years. Kevin's passion for the sport of running was the inspiration behind his family's desire to continue the giving that Kevin was always known for displaying towards others. Proceeds from the race go towards the Coach Carey Foundation scholarship fund.
