โ€ข Stepping strong doesnโ€™t mean you have to be strong. For us, itโ€™s a way of life. This is a walk, not a race! Just like in life, we keep moving forward, no matter how fast or slow we move. That goes for you, too!
โ€ข Weโ€™ll be rolling through Alachuaโ€™s established neighborhoods and down historic Main Street.
โ€ข You'll have a quick stop at the local Farmerโ€™s Market and make sure youโ€™re hydrated. Feel free to hit up the local vendors.
โ€ข Early Steppers get the swag: The first 50 participants who arrive at the park will receive an exclusive Step Stronger T-shirt!
โ€ข WHEN: Saturday, April 4th, 2026
โ€ข TIME: 11:00 AM (Arrival/Check-in starts at 10:45 AM)
โ€ข WHERE: Gerald Criswell Park, Alachua, FL
โ€ข THE ROUTE: A 5K (approx. 3.1 miles) through neighborhoods and Downtown.

We want Alachua and the surrounding areas to show up! There is strength in numbers! We are calling on local churches, civic groups, fraternities, sororities, non-profits, and families to come out as a team. Wear your groupโ€™s colors or shirts, and letโ€™s show up for a healthier community and a good time.
Let us know if youโ€™re coming: We ainโ€™t fancy, just click "Going" or "Interested" to stay up to date on route details and weather announcements.
Alachua, we look forward to stepping up for you!
