## Description

Walk the Talk 5k, fun run, and health fair is about nurturing and strengthening the body, mind, and spirit.  We will have 30 plus vendors, educators, instructors, and coaches on site from local studios, educational backgrounds, farmer’s markets, businesses, and food/snack trucks. We will feature dance and gymnastics performances, aerobics classes (all-levels), prize bingo, and registration for various athletics/hobbies such as paddle boarding or tennis/pickleball clubs!

Prices will increase on September 2nd and on race day, so be sure to sign up early!
