Participants showed incredible spirit throughout the morning, with walkers and runners powering through the 5-mile course. A special shoutout goes to the three amazing kids who joined our Kids Fun Run—they doubled the planned 1-mile route and finished 2 miles with enthusiasm and energy!

We’re thrilled to share that proceeds from this year’s event will support local environmental programs, educational outreach, and new healthy movement initiatives designed to promote active living in our community.

And of course, no Earth Day celebration at Lions Club Park would be complete without the Lions Club chicken barbecue! Runners, volunteers, and supporters all had the chance to enjoy a delicious meal and spend time together after the race.

A huge thank you goes out to our generous sponsors:
DL Martin, Undone Ferments, WellSpan Health, The Native Niche, Wellspring Cottage, Abeles Flurie Wealth Management Group, and FastInk. Your support fuels our mission and makes events like this one possible.

Thanks again to all who made this event a success—from volunteers to participants and spectators. With the event wrapped up by noon, everyone headed home inspired, refueled, and reminded of the power of movement and community.

Save the date! The 15th Annual Council for Wellness Earth Day Run/Walk is scheduled for April 25, 2026. We can’t wait to welcome you back!
