“Commit to be Fit,” a lifestyle change fair and 5K fun run, will be held Saturday, May 14, from 9 a.m. to noon in the Health, Human Performance and Athletics Building at Linfield College.
The lifestyle fair is free and open to the public. There is a registration fee for the 5K run/walk, at Event Brite (http://tinyurl.com/c2bf2016). The fee for the 5K event is $10 for community participants, $7 for Linfield students, faculty and staff with valid IDs and free for participants in the Student Nutrition and Activity Clinic for Kids (SNACK) program of Yamhill County. Registration will also be available the day of the run.
The lifestyle change fair will feature health screening including cholesterol, diabetes, blood pressure, body composition, grip strength; a variety of local vendors including experts in nutrition, health and wellness, local community health services; mini Zumba sessions; various experiential nutrition and fitness activity stations; and an opportunity to win gift baskets to raise money for the SNACK program. SNACK provides additional support and services to children and their families to lead healthier lifestyles, including free activity sessions, evidence-driven health education and community events.
This event is made possible through funding from Yamhill Community Care Organization’s Build Forward Program, and with the support of students and staff in the Linfield Health, Human Performance and Athletics Department.
