CULTIVATING HEALTH AND COMMUNITY, ONE EVENT AT A TIME!
Saturday, May 4, 2024 from 8:30am - 2:00pm
Garcia Bend Park, 7654 Pocket Road, Sacramento, CA 95831
Come walk, jog, skip, run or roll and join us for the second annual "Not Just For Runners” (NJ4R). NJ4R is a community event for all ages, abilities and backgrounds, created to bolster physical and mental health in marginalized communities. The event will include a 5K and 1-mile walk and run, followed by a health and wellness fair. This event will be held rain or shine.
This year, NJ4R makes its debut as the marquee event for Elevated Health and Community (EH&C). EH&C cultivates individual and community health by providing workshops and events that enhance mental and physical health, bolster overall well-being, and provide safe outdoor experiences. Through our events and collaborative partnerships with healthcare organizations, service providers, community groups and fitness/outdoor brands, our vision is to transform health solutions for individuals and marginalized communities nationwide, shifting from a "sick care" model to one that prioritizes overall health and well-being.
