Join the Bonney Lake Charity Fun Run and Support Local Families

Get Fit Bonney Lake announces Charity Fun Run/Walk that will benefit local families through the Food Bank and Lions-4-Kids House.

One of the things we are most excited about as we prepare for our first ever Get Fit Bonney Lake Business Expo, is the Shirt Off Your Back Charity Fun Run/Walk that will kick off event on July 16th.  This is a non-competitive run/walk starting at and going through Sky Island.  With options of one, two, three or five miles, you could go for the easy mile or challenge yourself with the grueling five mile run up and down the steep hills of Sky Island. 

Choose Your Challenge! 
1 mile “Fun Walk/Run” with a 19 ft elevation change
2 mile “Personal Best” with a 94 ft elevation change
3 mile “Ultimate Challenge” with a 194 ft elevation change
5 mile “Extreme Challenge” with a 464 ft total elevation change

Four different water stations along the way will keep you hydrated.  Pre-registration is available now at Prime Fitness and race day registration opens at 9:00 am with the race beginning at 10:00 am.  Walkers will start things off first and runners will follow.  Cost is $12 per individual or $25 per family.  Donate an article of clothing, school supplies or non-perishable food and take $5 off your family registration fee or $2 off the individual price.   After the event, be sure to visit the booths at the Expo.

This event is run 100 percent by volunteers and 100 percent of the proceeds raised will benefit families in our community through the and the .  Participants are encouraged to wear fluorescent green, the official color of the Lions-4-Kids House.

The Get Fit Bonney Lake Business Expo will run from 9:00 am – 4:00 pm.  Matt Hoover, Biggest Loser winner from season 2 will be our featured speaker at 2:00 pm where he will also be awarding the prize to our Get Fit Bonney Lake Weight Loss Challenge winner.
