5k Fun Run/Walk

          We are excited to invite you to the first ever American Fork Central Stake 5k Fun Run/Walk. A non-timed event on Saturday August 4, 2012 at 8 a.m. Whether you're an avid runner, or just enjoy being with your stake family, come and join us!  All are welcome!  Runners and walkers alike. Strollers are welcome, however because of safety purposes we ask that you leave your bikes, scooters, and the like at home.We will start at the Stake Center and follow the American Fork City trail up 1 1/2 miles and turn around at a designated spot and finish back at the Stake Center.  Water stations will be set up along the way and light refreshments will be waiting for you at the finish line.  If this is the perfect incentive you've needed to strap on those running shoes, a training schedule will be posted to get you up to speed to be running a 5k by the time our activity comes around!
          We are taught in the For Strength of Youth pamphlet that "Your body is a temple, a gift from God. You will be blessed as you care for your body. Choose to obey the Word of Wisdom (see D&C 89). "
