IDEA Public Schools Annual 5k Run/Walk and Healthy Living Expo

IDEA Public Schools in El Paso will host its annual 5K Run/Walk and Healthy Living Expo on Saturday, February 24 beginning at 7:15 a.m. at Ascarate Park (6900 Delta Dr, El Paso, TX 79905).  

The event is part of IDEA’s Healthy Kids Here initiative and seeks to promote fitness, health, and wellness amongst IDEA students and families, as well as community members. Its goal is to provide an opportunity for IDEA families to be active together, as well as connect them with health and wellness professionals in their community.  

All proceeds from this year’s 5k will go towards IDEA’s Healthy Kids Here Initiative. IDEA created Healthy Kids Here nine years ago with the goal of becoming the healthiest district in the country. IDEA believes that for students to get to and through college and beyond, they also need a foundation of knowledge and skills to maintain their health. 

The Healthy Living Expo will include a range of vendors and exhibitors including booths with information on healthy eating, diabetes, local gyms, and a farmer’s market with produce from IDEA campus farms. 

Paid participants will receive an official IDEA 5K shirt and bib. All race participants will receive an official medal. For more information or to register online, please visit https://ideapublicschools.org/5k/.
