Let's Spring Into Health!

Did you know? Walking just 30–60 minutes a day, combined with a plant-forward diet, can lead to:

  • More energy and improved mood

  • Better sleep patterns

  • Stronger bones and muscles

  • Improved balance and coordination

  • Better weight control

  • Healthy habits can reduce your risk of chronic diseases like diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, and cancer. If you already have a chronic condition, these habits can help you manage it and improve your quality of life.

Bottom line: No matter your age, it’s time to take responsibility for your health. Let’s make the commitment—do it for the health of it!

We host a flat and fast 10K and of course the 5K which are completely on the island with no elevation gain and minimal turns. Highlights include: Lighthouse, 13+ miles of beach views along the ocean (running on the road), a bridge (on the West Half & Full Marathon) and much more! President’s Day weekend is a perfect long weekend to enjoy the beach. Average temperatures are 58 High /41 Low in February.

    SATURDAY:

    6:45AM - Ultra, Full Marathon & East Half Marathon
