Mommy and Me Fitness is teaming up with the Alabama Department of Public Health Office of Women’s Health to plan a women’s run and walk, Women on the Move to Improve Women’s Health, on May 18 starting at 8 a.m.
The family event includes both a 5K and 1 Mile Mother/Daughter Walk/ Children’s Fun Run held on the Lakeshore Greenway.
Post-race activities will include a bouncy house, kids obstacle course, parents’ fitness challenge, Zumba dance party, face painting and refreshments, all held in the greenway parking lot across from Samford.
The 1 Mile Walk/Run entry fee is $5, and children under age 5 are free. 5K entry fee is $20. A portion of the race proceeds benefit the local Girls on the Run program, as well as programs and events offered by the Office of Women’s Health.
Organizers are hoping to get many local families involved in this event. The first 200 participants will get a free T-shirts and $500 in cash prizes will be given to top runners.
