Wishard Foundation will hold the inaugural Eskenazi Health Run/Walk and Community Health Fair on Sept. 10, at Wishard Memorial Hospital.
The event will encourage community health through preventive care and healthful diet and lifestyle choices and promote awareness of the new Sidney and Lois Eskenazi Hospital and Eskenazi Health campus opening December 2013.
“We are excited to share with the community this event to learn more about the new hospital, to take part in a health fair offering valuable screenings and information at no cost and to exercise and compete on an invigorating run/walk course through downtown,” said Ernest Vargo II, CFRE, president and CEO of Wishard Foundation. “The race will be a great opportunity for runners to tune-up for upcoming competitions while also providing a fun exercise experience.”
The event will be from 6 to 11 a.m., beginning with an opening ceremony at 7:15 a.m. followed by race starts at 7:30 a.m., 7:40 a.m. and 8 a.m. The community health fair will run from 7 to 11 a.m. There is no cost to participate in the health fair, while race sign-up costs range from $5 to $25.
All three running events will start and end at the Ott Building of Wishard Health Services.
