Wishard Foundation will hold the inaugural Eskenazi Health Run/Walk and Community Health Fair on Sept. 10 at Wishard Memorial Hospital.

The event will run 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. Event participants will venture through downtown Indianapolis, experiencing the urban landscape’s diverse vistas.
