11th Annual Be Bold 5K
About This Event
Start the Year Strong! Take Action Toward Your Health!
A new year won’t bring new results unless your actions change. Growth happens outside your comfort zone, and this is your time to rise, move, and commit to the version of yourself you were made to become.
Motivation fades, but discipline is unshakable.
This race is for everyone! Whether you’re walking, jogging, or running your first 5K, or pushing for a new personal best. If it’s your first time, your goal is simple: finish strong. If you’ve raced before, aim to beat your best time and inspire someone else along the way.
Each year, we celebrate stories of families crossing the finish line together, first-time runners accomplishing what they once thought impossible, and returning racers setting new records. This is more than a race, it’s a chance to set the tone for your health, your mindset, and your year.
This is a family-friendly event open to all ages, and we can’t wait to move forward in health with you.
