General info/introduction
Come join us for the 11th Annual Building Healthy Communities 5K Run/Walk & Wellness Expo. The 5K run/walk will raise funds to benefit the MUSC Children's Health Wellness Works Program. Come run or walk a USATF-certified 5K course to help us in our work of supporting healthy lifestyle habits for kids and their families. We also have a lot of exciting raffle prizes to offer, so bring cash or a card to purchase raffle tickets and participate in the drawing after the race (no checks will be accepted).
Your registration fee includes a t-shirt, a race packet with exciting freebies, water, and healthy snacks. We also offer official timing and overall/age-group awards (top three in each group)! A finisher's medal will be given to all who complete the entire 5K course. The Wellness Expo, day-of registration, and on-site packet pick-up begin at 8:00 am. A mandatory pre-race meeting is at 8:45am, group warm-up kicks off at 8:50 am, and the run/walk starts at 9:00 am. The finish-line party including food truck (food for purchase), face painting (free), Wellness Expo, prize raffle, age-group awards, and healthy snacks will follow!
You can pick up your packet (timing bib, t-shirt, freebies) on Friday, February 13th from 1:00-6:00pm at Fleet Feet West Ashley (1401 Sam Rittenberg Blvd Suite 5, Charleston, SC 29407) or starting at 8:00am on event morning.
You do not have to be a paid and registered participant to enjoy the Wellness Expo and raffle--everyone is welcome. Please come and enjoy the Expo. Portable toilets will be available at the event for your convenience.
Wellness Works Program Information
MUSC Children's Health Wellness Works program is a wellness/weight management program and lipid treatment clinic for kids and teens. We work with kids and their families to promote healthy habits through individualized clinic visits, group education sessions, and a fitness program. We have had fantastic success and we currently have over 600 families enrolled from all over the state! Since we are a non-profit program, we rely heavily on fundraising events that also promote our healthy message through exercise and health promotion.
Thank you so much for your support of these children and their families and for helping us build healthy communities! More information can be found on our website at www.MUSCKids.org/WellnessWorks and our Facebook page at www.Facebook.com/MUSCkidsWellnessWorks.
