The Celebrate Westlake (CW) is a 5-Mile Run and 5K Run, 5K Walk fundraiser.
Race Founder William “Bud” Hagy who has been with the event since its inception says this year’s event will be better than ever. Based on its growing popularity he predicts this year to attract more people. “We have events for all ages; and if you do not walk or run you can cheer on participants and visit the health and fitness expo.”
Runners and community members may recognize the race as being the North Coast Challenge, but after much thought, a decision was made to go back to our roots, “We are very excited about re-branding back to Celebrate Westlake and reconnecting with all families and local businesses in Westlake and the surrounding communities” says Race Director Rick Fagan.
In addition to the 5 mile run, 5K run & 5K walk, a half-mile and 1-mile Kids’ Fun Dash, a Health and Fitness Expo will round out the day. The Kids’ Fun Dash will be held on the medical center’s fitness trail, which is a half-mile in length and is surrounded by trees and a fountain. There will be prize money and/or award trophies presented to winners in the adult races. Awards given to children will be presented as they cross the finish line; every child will receive a special trophy regardless of where they place/finish.
The Health and Fitness Expo includes local merchants, health screenings and vendors displaying the latest in health and wellness products. In addition, the St. John Medical Center Community Outreach Dept. will be on hand to provide free blood pressure readings, along with additional “healthy” information.
