Registration @ 7:30 | Race starts @ 8:30
This FREE 5K walk/run event will be a moving health fair of sorts - where every mile marker you’ll pick up simple, practical tips for staying healthy.
One of the biggest lessons? The power of eating real, whole plants.
We’ll have mini lessons on how eating an apple is healthy, but drinking apple juice is not. How every bite of a whole plant comes with fiber and phytochemicals that do wonders for your metabolic health. But when we strip those out in juice, our blood sugar spikes, crashes, and leaves us craving more and more sugary foods. That cycle leads to overeating, poor sleep, bad skin, and eventually bigger health problems.
And a lot of the foods kids think are healthy (granola bars, cereal, sports drinks, flavored yogurt, fruit gummies) are mostly ultra-processed foods without much of the nourishment of “real” whole plants. As a result of this deceptive marketing, many kids (and adults) are overfed and undernourished.
The truth is about 88% of Americans now show at least one sign of metabolic dysfunction (one of the root causes of obesity, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and more). While this is a 5K run/walk, you cannot outrun a bad diet. So start small. Eat more real food (especially vegetables and savory fruits) before every meal. Think of it as “dieting by addition,” not subtraction. Add a variety of plants to your diet. Add more colors. Add more real fiber from real plants. Eat more Earth-made foods! Try to eat 30 different plants every week, and load up your plate with vegetables before every meal.
Participants will learn the importance of sleep and protocols like how we need to have alarms to go to bed - not to wake up. How regularity is key. And how sleeping well positively impacts every aspect of wellness; just like eating well and moving well!
This 5K will be a chance to learn, share, and shift how we think about health. And the best part? It’s FREE, just like Nicholas Westfall’s monthly wellness newsletter: https://nicholaswestfall.substack.com/

National Dance Institute
presents
Runs & Leaps Extravaganza!
JULY 28, 2026
On the occasion of National Dance Institute's (NDI) Founder Jacques d'Amboise's birthday, and in celebration of the organization’s 50th Anniversary, come dance with us to show your support for the importance the arts plays in all our lives. Following the success of the 2025 event, in Jackie Robinson Park in 2025, we're thrilled to expand this Runs and Leaps Extravaganza, to Central Park’s Naumburg Bandshell – just a “run and leap” from the Delacorte Theatre, home to many past NDI performances.
Under the Artistic Direction of Kay Gayner and Chirstopher d'Amboise, NDI Teaching Artists will guide current dancers, alumni, supporters, and friends of NDI as they "run and leap" across this iconic New York City site. Participants close the event with a short performance of an excerpt from a well-loved piece of NDI's repertoire - all accompanied by NDI's live band under the Music Direction of Yakir Ben Hur.
Reunite with your fellow alumni, meet the new generation of NDI dancers, and launch us into the next 50 years.
No experience is required - you'll learn everything you need to know in a short rehearsal upon arrival!
Participation is limited - register yourself or a team today!

The pulse of the running world can be felt in Central Park where you and hundreds of athletes from around the world will compete. To race in Central Park is breathtaking not only because of the great course but also because of what this place means to runners from all over the world. This is the largest and most important public backyard (park) in NYC with 843 acres of trees, meadows, paths, and attractions. It’s always beautiful and in the middle of the summer, it’s the place to be. The course is perfect for you, marked at every mile and turn, supported with water stations that have ice cold water and Gatorade. Join us afterward for a fun awards ceremony, NYC’s best bagels!

Queens is all about diversity. It’s NYC’s second most populous borough with 2.3 M people living in a community with the highest rate of racial and ethnic variety of all populous counties in the nation. So, there is no better way to start and finish a race in Queens, NYC than through Flushing Meadows Park. You’ll run past the Unisphere on a relatively lat and fast course with two small uphill sections when you cross an overpass. The views from the overpass are so beautiful that you’ll hardly notice.
