The 13th Annual Burnsville Fit Families 5K will be held on the Town Square in downtown Burnsville on Saturday, April 20th at 9:00 am. Thank you to Mountain Community Health Partnership, the Title Sponsor of this year’s race, for their generous support of this event. For years, the BFF 5K provides an opportunity for kids, adults, individuals, and families to participate in a 5K that welcomes people of all fitness levels from first-time 5K participants to competitive runners.
All youth under the age of 18 can register and participate in the BFF 5K for FREE. Adults can participate in the BFF 5K in many ways including walking or running alongside the children and youth in their lives! Youth and adults can register as individuals or as a relay team of 2-3 participants, which divides the 3.1 mile distance between teammates. Visit bit.ly/bff5k2024 to register, prices increase on April 1st.
For those children and adults who want help preparing for the 3.1 mile distance, the 5K Your Way Prep Program is for you! The 5K Your Way program includes tips for success, how to stay motivated, and a 3 days per week training plan. You can also follow Partners Aligned Toward Health on social media to see weekly tips and workouts or go to bit.ly/BFF5kYourWay24 to open the training program and have it at your fingertips. For a Spanish version of the training go to bit.ly/5KPrograma2024.
If you don’t plan to run or walk the 5K, please join in on the fun as a volunteer. Volunteers are needed to cheer on runners, pass out water at water stations, help with registration, and more. Register to volunteer at bit.ly/BFF5kVolunteer2024.
