What’s your first thought when you see this photo?
I wish I had that kind of patriotism. How can I show off my best red, white and blue? I want to party with that guy!
Those are all valid responses and you can accomplish all three goals at the 2023 Run, White and Blue 5 K to benefit NAMI Fort Wayne!
The race begins at 10 AM on July 4th at Foster Park Pavilion 2.
Pre-registration is available online until July 1 at https://runsignup.com/namifortwayne with race day registration starting at 9 AM.
The course is an easy out-and-back run along a paved pathway. Cost of entry is $32 for adults and $15 for youth 14 and under.
Each participant receives a performance-style T-shirt in their preferred size if registration is completed by June 15.
All participants also receive a free Kona Ice!
Special prizes are awarded to the fastest overall male and female runner. Medals are awarded to the top runner in each age division (14 and under, 15-19, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, 70-79, and 80+).
Runners are encouraged to dress in red, white, and blue attire with prizes awarded to the most patriotically costumed male and female runners. All runners are eligible for random door prizes drawn during the awards ceremony including a 6-month family membership to the YMCA of Greater Fort Wayne — winners must be present to win.
