Westly's 9th Annual 5K

New year, new miles - come snag yours at our free 5K! We’re getting active together as a community – in person AND virtually! Register for one, or both (must register twice separately) if you want double the 5K fun!

* Please note the prize details below, as some of our guidelines have changed.

In-Person 5K Option:

Want to complete 3.1 miles with an awesome group? Join us on Saturday, January 31 along the West Orange Trail! Walk or run a 5K as a community. All ages are welcome! The race will begin at the Healthy West Orange Arts & Heritage Center at the Town of Oakland, with check-in at 8:00am, warm-ups at 9:15am, and race kick off at 9:30am.  

After you cross the finish line, head over to Oakland’s Speer Park where Healthy West Orange will host our Fresh Start Zone at Oakland Heritage Day! Our local partners will be offering fitness, nutrition, and wellbeing activities for FREE from 10am – 2pm. Folks can also enjoy live music, food trucks, and artisan vendors. 

Virtual 5K Option:

Can’t make it on the 31st? No worries! Here’s how our virtual 5K works: register first, then complete 3.1 miles between January 1-31 at your own pace, wherever you like, whenever you like. Bike the West Orange Trail, hike at Oakland Nature Preserve, rollerblade around your neighborhood! If you want to break it up into segments – go for it! Tell your family and friends, because it’s open to all ages and mobility levels.

No need to track your miles – we go by the honor system and are here to encourage you to get moving. We always love it when folks send in their finish line photos if they complete their 5K virtually! Post your photos and tag or DM us on social media @healthywestorange, or email us at info@healthywestorange.org
