Walk the Talk 5k and Fun Run

About the Event

Walk the Talk 5k, fun run, and health fair is about nurturing and strengthening the body, mind, and spirit.  We will have 30 plus vendors, educators, instructors, and coaches on site from local studios, educational backgrounds, farmer’s markets, businesses, and food/snack trucks. We will feature dance and gymnastics performances, aerobics classes (all-levels), plant bingo, and registration for various athletics/hobbies such as paddle boarding or tennis/pickleball clubs!


Course Certification: We are seeking official USATF certification for this event. We will post that designation as soon as we are approved!
