McLaren Bay Medical Foundation will host the fourth annual 5K Walk/Run on Saturday, May 4, 2019 at Uptown Bay City.
The 5K Walk/Run will take place at 9:00 a.m., with awards given to the top finisher in each age category. Medals will also be awarded to all finishers. Snacks and beverages will be provided after the event, and all participants will be entered into a random prize drawing that will take place after race.
New this year, participants can opt to register for a Virtual 5K Walk/Run, where participants complete a 5K (walk or run) and submit their completion time.
All participants are eligible to attend a Health and Wellness Fair that will take place on Saturday, May 11 from 8:00 a.m. – 11:00 a.m. at the McLaren Bay Region Karmanos Cancer Institute. The fair includes free health screenings, prize drawings and valuable health and fitness information. Available screenings/tests include glucose, blood pressure, cholesterol, BMI, pulse, body fat, joint test, sleep disorder risk assessment and many more.
