MASTODON STAMPEDE RUN & WALK CLUB
5K LET’S TALK HEALTH
The 5K LET’S TALK HEALTH is a collaboration with the Ohio State Wexner Medical Center in New Albany, where their health experts periodically attend our run & walk club Treks to share heath and disease prevention information.
The health talks are facilitated in a casual manner where the OSUWMC Health Expert shares health information while running or walking with the MASTODON RUN & WALK CLUB. The members can ask as many questions as they want to learn more about the particular subject or ask any health questions they would like.
The mission is to educate and motivate our community members to take control of protecting and improving their health.
The inaugural October 12, 2024 event was held at the Johnstown High School Football Stadium Track to introduce the event to the public.
Future 5K LET'S TALK HEALTH event dates and locations will be announced soon.
