The RUN Manatee 5K series offers THREE adventures to celebrate ONE community. Participants will discover Manatee County's parks, beaches and preserves . . . on the run! Presented by Run With Purpose Nutrition, the inaugural kickoff run/walk will take place at Bennett Park via a scenic route around ponds and along mixed terrain, including grass, crushed shell and asphalt. Warm up will be provided by Nick Nolting Training, and yoga cooldown is by Kayla McCarthy-Asha of Akasha Yoga Room. Participants of all age and activity levels are welcome to join this day of fitness, food and family fun! Grab a healthy breakfast/lunch, shop local vendors in the marketplace, climb on the Bradenton Kiwanis fully accessible playground or cool off in the new splash pad. There’s plenty to do even if you're not running! Sign up for this race or all three races by going to http://Runsignup.com/runmanateetombennettpark.
