About the event

Moving Together for Healthier Communities

Health disparities continue to affect families across our communities, influencing access to healthy living, preventive resources, and opportunities to thrive.

ThriveShift Foundation believes where someone lives or what they earn should not determine their opportunity to live a healthy life.

Our annual 5K Run/Walk brings individuals, families, businesses, and community partners together around one purpose:

Moving our communities toward better health and greater opportunity.

Whether you run, walk, volunteer, donate, or build a team, you're helping advance ThriveShift's Live Well work and our commitment to healthier communities.
