5th Annual Back to Health 5k and 1 mile Fun Run and Health Expo

5k and 1 mile race in Powder Springs. Family friendly and FREE health expo.

The event is designed as a catalyst to help families enjoy a healthier lifestyle, and is in support of the Let’s Move! initiative launched by First Lady Michelle Obama. In addition, the event is in collaboration with the North American Division of Seventh-day Adventist’s Let’s Move Day, raising awareness of childhood obesity within our nation.

The race will begin at 9:00am and will include a 5K Peachtree qualifying race and a 1 mile family fun run. We’re expecting several community professionals and our own Health Ministry team to provide a free health expo and medical screening for the community, which will continue until 11:30 am. Proceeds from the event will go to benefit Lakeview’s Community Food Pantry, which provides meals to over 1,700 people in need each quarter.
