Event Information
City of Dayton Employee Health and Safety Week Family Fun Run and Fitness Walk
Kick off the City of Dayton Employee Health and Safety Week with the first ever Family Fun Run and Fitness Walk! This event is designed for athletes & participants of all ages and abilities. You don’t need to be competitive to get a little exercise with your coworkers, friends, and family while taking in some beautiful views of Dayton.
Thanks to a GENEROUS sponsorship by HealthStat, participation in the inaugural event is FREE to all City of Dayton employees and their families. However, registration and waivers are required for all participants regardless of age.
Join the fun at Island Metropark, October 5, 2019. Packet pick up is 7:15 AM to 8:45AM with the “race” starting at 9:00AM. All participants registered by September 26, 2019 to receive a tee-shirt and string backpack when they submit their waiver to packet pick up. Those completing the 3.1 mile (5K) course or the Turning My Health Around Half Course receive a Finisher Medal. City employees will also earn 10 Wellness points. Come out and skip, trot, wattle, walk your leashed pet, hoof at a comfortable pace, push a stroller, pull a wagon, jog the 5K, or run for your personal best!
Results are updated as participants finish and can be accessed on the Key Sports website. Finisher Medals will be awarded as participants cross the finish line. Competitive Awards for the 5K will be presented at an upcoming City of Dayton Commission Meeting or may be picked up at the City of Dayton Department of Human Resources during normal business hours after October 14, 2019.
