About this Race

“Get off the Couch and MOVE!”

JOIN US!

The Healthy Start 5K Run welcomes both runners and walkers. The purpose of this charitable event is to raise awareness for the importance of living a healthy, fit and smart lifestyle. In addition to the run/walk, healthcare professionals will be in attendance to answer questions and provide insightful educational resources.

We encourage the Northeast Florida community and the city of Jacksonville especially, to come out to enjoy a nice run or walk to kick the new year off to a healthy start! We will have fun activities for the kids and family as we all work together to promote a healthy lifestyle.

Proceeds from this event will support the Kappa Alpha Psi Jacksonville Foundation in its goals to support the underserved in the north Florida area.

The Kappa Alpha Psi Jacksonville Foundation is a 501(c)3 non-profit organizations that has granted over $500,000 to students pursuing post-secondary and graduate degrees through its scholarship program. The Foundation also continues to support the young men of Jacksonville through its Guide Right Leadership & Development Program.

Your contributions will help us support the mission to build a healthier Jacksonville, as well as help those who suffer and are underserved on a daily basis. Please consider forming a team of runners/walkers to participate in this worthwhile cause.

Over 26 million Americans have diabetes and that number continues to grow. In fact, the Centers for Disease Control estimates that 1 in 3 Americans will be diagnosed by the year 2050. By participating you can assist with turning those numbers around.  With the help of community partners like Kappa Alpha Psi, we are getting the word out about the risks, symptoms, prevention tools and management techniques to help put an end to preventable diseases..

As supporters, we must all work together to help promote, educate and encourage our children and the Northeast Florida Community to live a healthy and fit lifestyle. It’s really up to everyone to simply start NOW and make the decision to “Get off the couch and MOVE!”
