Diamond Sponsor - Parkview Health
In less than a year, on Saturday September 27, 2008,
Fort Wayne will host the first annual “Fort-4-Fitness”
health festival, celebrating Northeast Indiana’s
commitment to healthy living and lifestyles. The day-long
event will include:
- a certified half marathon
- 4-mile run/walk
- health fair
- health food expo
Starting and ending in downtown
Fort Wayne’s beautiful Freimann Square, the
morning half-marathon will wind through the streets,
parks and landmarks of the nation’s 80th largest
city; a shorter 4-mile run/walk will follow, traversing
some of the same beautiful course. Participants
and spectators will also be able to visit a health
exposition, getting feedback on their current health
status, receiving information on how lifestyle choices
impact health as well as a guide about available
community wellness services and programs. Local
restaurateurs – selected based on their offerings
of healthy food and beverages – will provide
refreshments for participants and attendees.
Be a part of this
inaugural event! Registration begins in
January, 2008 with an early-bird discount. Event
check-in will occur the night prior to Fort-4-Fitness
at the Allen County Public Library, or at Freimann
Square on race day. If you would like to receive
