RACE DAY is in less than 24 hours! We can’t wait to see you at the 10th Anniversary Road to Wellness 5K Run/2-Mile Walk tomorrow morning 🎉

Here's some tips to help you feel ready for race day:

😴 Make sure you get a good night’s sleep

🚆 Plan extra time to travel to The Dimock Center on the morning of the race. Parking will be VERY limited in the area, so please plan to take public transportation, bike, or get a ride.

🍌Eat a well-balanced breakfast to ensure you are fueled up for the Run/Walk! It can help to eat something high in carbohydrates, such as a bagel, banana, energy bar, or oatmeal.

🎽 Check-in will open promptly at 7:30 AM for anyone who did not pick up their bib early.
If you've already picked up your bib, you can arrive by 8:30 AM. The walk/run will begin promptly at 9:00 AM!

🎶 Please make sure you are on time so you can join the amazing opening ceremony with the fabulous @edwardslatoyia and warm up with the iconic Brandy Cruthird @bbb360_ at 8:10 AM and music from @rockstonetrizz from @sparkfmonline!

🎈 Don’t forget to check out the wide range of exhibitors at our Health & Fitness Pavilion located just behind the finish line at 55 Dimock Street! The pavilion will be open from 7:30 AM to 11:00 AM.

🌦️ The 10th Annual Road to Wellness is on, rain or shine, on Saturday, September 7th, barring extreme weather such as an intense thunderstorm. Please dress accordingly and stay tuned to the Road to Wellness website and social media channels for the latest updates.

🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️If this is your first time competing in a road race, like the Road to Wellness 5K Run/2-Mile Walk. You might be wondering, "What’s a pace group?"

A pace group is a team of runners who all aim to finish the race in a specific time. At the Road to Wellness on September, 7, 2024, we’ll have different pace groups to match your experience level—whether you’re a walker, new to running, , or a seasoned marathoner. The numbers you see on the signs correspond with how long it takes to run a mile. 👟

No matter your level, you’ll find the pace that suits you best. On race day, keep an eye out for volunteers in the blue t-shirts holding up signs for your pace group. Don’t stress—just lace up, find your pace and enjoy the race! 🏅
