Lace Up and Let Loose: Run, Play, and Party at the Health Fest!

This isn’t just a run—it’s a full-blown health party. Whether you're a competitive runner with a need for speed or someone who just wants to stroll and soak up the vibes, you’re welcome here. The fun kicks off at 10 a.m. with the 5K, followed by the 1 Mile Kids Fun Run at 10:45 a.m. And then? It’s party time! From 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., the free community fair will be rocking with inflatables, outdoor games, local vendors, food, and enough fun to make you forget you just ran a small (but mighty) marathon.

Run for Fun, Give for Good: Every Step Supports Diabetes Care!

Here's the best part! Every dollar raised helps diabetes patients at CHI St. Alexius Health Williston. Think dental and eye exams, education, equipment, and supplies. As diabetes educator Deb Bronson puts it, “Not all insurance plans cover the tests needed for diabetes management.” This event helps fill that gap—with 100% of the proceeds going right back into the community.

Register online now and score your t-shirt and swag bag by May 14, 2025! Pre-race check-in (and SWAG pickup!) is June 13 from 5–8 p.m. in the McAuley Room at CHI St. Alexius Health.
