Runners, walkers and families are invited to hit the ground running this spring by joining the Stepping into Spring 5K, a community-focused event from 9 a.m. to noon March 21 at Milan Puskar Stadium.
Open to all experience levels, this one-of-a-kind event will start in front of the Milan Puskar Stadium and finish directly on Mountaineer Field.
Stepping Into Spring is about more than just a race, it’s about creating an experience that brings people together, encourages healthy habits and gives back to the community in a meaningful way.
The event also features a Kids Fun Run inside Milan Puskar Stadium, making it a family-friendly celebration of movement. Children age 12 and under are encouraged to wear their favorite superhero and cartoon character costumes or favorite athlete jersey.
As an opportunity to give back while getting active, kids participate for free when they bring a stuffed animal to donate to the pediatric patients at the local children’s hospital.
All registered participants will receive an official event T-shirt and the chance to win a medal.
Proceeds from the race will directly support Get Moving! and help fund future community fitness events across West Virginia.
Get Moving! Inc. is a nonprofit organization committed to promoting health, movement and community connection through inclusive and engaging events throughout West Virginia.
Whether participants are seasoned runners or stepping into their first 5K, everyone is encouraged to register and be part of an unforgettable spring kickoff at one of Morgantown’s most recognizable venues.
