The AIA Cincinnati Urban Design 5K Walk/Run celebrates the connection between healthy people and healthy urbanism.
Our mission is to celebrate urban design that makes walking, running, and everyday physical activity safe, enjoyable, and accessible to everyone. By bringing architects, designers, community leaders, businesses, and residents together through a new annual 5K, we aim to demonstrate how well-designed communities, parks, and public spaces can encourage active lifestyles and strengthen community well-being.
Physical activity plays an important role in reducing the risk and impact of major health challenges, including hypertension, diabetes, and mental health conditions. Good urbanism can help people make healthy choices part of everyday life by creating communities where people feel comfortable walking, jogging, connecting with others, and spending time outdoors.
Through this new annual event, we seek to celebrate urbanism as a public-health tool, raise awareness about the relationship between the built environment and wellness, and inspire continued investment in healthier, more walkable communities throughout Greater Cincinnati. A portion of the proceeds from the 5K will go to the Bettman Legacy Fund - a grant program administered by the AIA Ohio Foundation for AIA Cincinnati to support projects that enrich the urban environment in southwest Ohio.
