LiveWell 5K Walk/Run/Roll & Celebration

This LiveWell 5K Walk/Run/Roll & Celebration is hosted by LiveWell which is an initiative of the Pruitt Center for Mindfulness & Well-being at UW-Superior. LiveWell is a holistic mental health project created to support those who are living, working, and attending school in Douglas County and the greater Twin Ports area. We work to identify and create innovative ways to address the current mental health crisis in our community. One way we do this is through #BetterTogether activities which foster connection and prevent social isolation. As a part of this initiative we are excited to host our second annual 5K, promoting connection & advocating for mental wellness in our community.

This event will be held at Barker’s Island Festival Park on Thursday, August 14th, 2025. Registration closes August 7th, 2025 at 11:59pm. This event is FREE and open to the public. Guests are welcome to start arriving at 5:00pm. The walk/run/roll event will begin at 6:00pm. The roll event is inclusive to all wheeled devices. A helmet is strongly encouraged as a best practice measure for all wheeler participates. This is considered a fun run and will NOT be chipped or timed. Once participants finish the race they will be invited to partake in the post-race celebration activities along with all other spectators. The event will feature a picnic-style buffet catered by ChartWells, with a designated seating area for dining and socializing. A DJ will provide music and live commentary throughout the evening. Guests can enjoy a variety of outdoor yard games, including Corn Hole, Badminton, Kubb, and Bocce. Conversation domes will offer a warm and inviting space to relax and connect with others.
