First Annual Family 5K

On August 14, 2010 the Healthy Lifestyles program hosted its first annual family 5K run/walk. It turned out to be a fun event that included beautiful weather, face painting, free t-shirts, refreshments, prizes and a motivating strawberry on wheels. Yes that’s right, a rollerblading strawberry to make the morning complete. It was a fun way to get families and friends to enjoy being active together.
The Healthy Lifestyles program encourages each Utah County employee and their families to get up and get moving. Be active with your family and friends. You don’t have to be a top athlete to be active. Teach your kids that it simply feels good to move. Life can get in the way, but it doesn't have to. Make getting more physical activity a family project. If you missed out this time, we hope to see you next year.Everyone lined up waiting to start. Congratulations!!!
