Welcome to the annual Get Fit Festival at the Kaiser Permanente Irvine Medical Center. Discover healthy activities you’ll truly enjoy, including:

The Kaiser Permanente Get Fit Challenge is a 36 mile relay completed by a 6-person team. Each team member runs or walks two different 3-mile routes through the scenic San Diego Creek River Trails. During the relay, each team member runs two legs. The distance is sure to appeal to elite athletes as well as the occasional jogger. It’s the perfect relay race for everyone.
Starting in the parking lot at the Kaiser Permanente Irvine Medical Center in Irvine, two team members at a time (runners 1 and 2) hit the path for a 3-mile journey. The rest of the team waits at their team tent and/or the checkpoint area by the start. The course will be marked with signs and balloons. Participants run the course and head back to the checkpoint to hand off to the next two teammates. When they are not running, other team members will be busy cheering on teammates and other teams in the Thrive Village! All Fitness Levels Encouraged!
Running two legs during a 3-4 hour relay race is much easier than you think. You will have plenty of time after the first leg to stretch, rest, eat and drink before completing the second leg. Once the last two runners come in on the last leg, all team members will perform a victory lap and finish together. Finisher medals and awards will occur at the finish line on the finisher stage!
Or sign up for the fast but friendly 5K course through the streets and trails of Irvine. This chip-timed event is open to all skill levels and ages.
Or enjoy a scenic 30-mile bike tour through the heart of Orange County. This noncompetitive event is a great way to see the OC with friends and family. Past participants rave about this scenic and beginner-friendly course. Pump up those tires and let’s roll!
