Point University is hosting a 5K run that’s not just a race but a community gathering. Lewis, one of the organizers, sees it as a great way to bring the Greater Valley Area together. The event aims to shine a light on local businesses and connect community members.
The enthusiasm for this run has been growing. Each year, more participants join in, and this year’s event is expected to be the biggest yet. It’s a chance for families to enjoy a fun day while supporting local businesses.
Lewis explains that the goal is to show the community that Point University cares. “We want to embrace everyone,” he says. “It’s about creating connections with local businesses and families.” This event serves as a platform to highlight the resources available at the university, fostering a spirit of collaboration and support.
Recent surveys show that community events boost local engagement. According to a 2021 report by the National Recreation and Park Association, 78% of people believe that local events help strengthen community ties. This run embodies that idea, offering a warm environment for everyone.
As for participation, early registration is open until January 31. Fees are $25 for adults and $10 for kids under 13. After January 31, the adult fee increases to $35. To sign up, you can visit the official Point University 5K page.
