A
Celebration of Women & Girls in Fitness & Sport - The
Spirit of the Celebration!
The 5K Run, Walk & Stroll, which happens each September
in Boise Idaho, is one of the largest women's run/walks
in the USA. The Celebration was founded to inspire healthy
attitudes in participants so that it reaches their families
and communities. Every September thousands of women
and girls of all ages and abilities line up in downtown Boise to experience Celebration
camaraderie in a very supportive environment. Grandmothers or girl scouts, elite runners
or stroller moms, they all compete on the same course,
on the same day. This has become a unique and beloved Idaho event.
Participants make their way along the course from the
Idaho State Capitol to the beautiful surroundings of
Ann Morrison Park located on the banks of the Boise
River. Here the participants and volunteers
are treated to food and entertainment at the Finish
Line Party.
The event is for
walkers, runners or strollers. There is no time limit
to complete the course, and every year the "Over 70's" age group impresses and inspires thousands.
These incredible ladies are recognized on stage during
the Awards Ceremony with a dance, a rose and medal. We truly
honor them.
In addition to those that participate for fun and companionship,
the event also attracts an elite field of competitive
runners, race-walkers and wheelchair athletes from Idaho
and around the country. See
Elite Athletes for past winners.
In closing, take the sneakers out of the closet, call
your friends, co-workers, your mother, sister, aunt
and cousins, watch for your entry form and make sure
you are included in the 2012 St. Luke's Women's Fitness Celebration.
This is your event! |
