#StayActive 5k

The Union County Health Department is promoting a healthier community by encouraging year-round physical activity. With higher obesity rates than state and national averages, the county leverages its extensive trail network to motivate residents to remain active, regardless of weather conditions. The #StayActive 5K event, organized by the health department, supports this initiative with proceeds directed towards combating youth food insecurity. Participants enjoy a route that starts at Mill Creek Park, traverses the Jim Simmons Trail, and returns over a pedestrian bridge, highlighting the scenic trails that promote wellness throughout the year.
