The event is Sept. 28 with the 5k beginning at 8:30 a.m.; 9:30 a.m. for the 1 Mile Kids Course. Event takes place at Holmes Lake Park, Lincoln, NE. The 5K race will be chip timed; 1 mile kids’ course will not be timed. All pre-registered runners will receive a t-shirt, swag bag full of healthy food, coupons and recipes, post-race food and drink.
This is the 2nd annual “Fuel Up with Color” 5K race and 1 mile kids’ fun run & fitness challenge for NAND. This year’s 5K and 1 mile fun run & fitness challenge will be both competitive, for those runners who are actively involved in races, as well as family-focused to promote fitness and healthy eating in Nebraska families while having fun. The 5K race will be a traditional race along a beautiful course at Holmes Lake. Nutrition messages will be scattered along the course to remind you the importance of healthy eating and fueling your bodies with COLOR! The 1 mile kids course will be a “fun run” for kids ages 12 & under that will include 5 physical fitness challenges along the course. Each challenge stop will focus on a different food group. At the end of the race, kids will be given colorful stickers from each of the 5 food groups. By promoting the 5 food groups during the race, we are encouraging all runners to “fuel up with color” from nutritious foods to help lead a healthy life!
