The annual 5K for KJ run takes place Saturday, Nov. 27, beginning at 10 a.m. at the Martha’s Vineyard Regional High School.

The race was established in honor of Vineyard high school student and cross country runner, Kevin H. Johnson, who lost his life in 2004 at the age of 16 in an automobile accident.

Proceeds from the race go to the Kevin H. Johnson Cross Country Scholarship Fund, which awards multiple scholarships annually to members of the regional high school cross country team.

Runners can pre-register ($25) at runsignup.com/Race/MA/OakBluffs/5KforKJ, or the day of the race at the high school cafeteria ($30) from 8:30 a.m. to 9:30 a.m,
