Info: We'll run (or walk) along the waterfront trail of Melanie's Park. This is a "out and back" route, meaning we will reach a certain turn around point and then run/walk back towards the starting point. The route will be outlined for you prior to the run start and can be done at any pace.

Info: Cool down with stretches led by YOUniversal Fitness.

Info: Stay for light refreshments after the 5k and groove to beats by DJ Mike Ford. Don't forget to bring your own water bottle for the run/walk!
