Instead of fast cars racing down the track, a different kind of event was taking place at the Wildhorse Pass Motorsport Park on July 23.

Over 290 walkers and runners braved the heat at the Family Foam Fest Run and Walk, where they got to bask in the sudsy foam stations located along the course.

The event was hosted in collaboration with the Gila River Wellness Center and Communications & Public Affairs Office and featured a 5k individual competitive run and relay.

The walk is also a part of the Gila River Indian Community Health & Wellness Initiative which, offers unique opportunities for families to stay active.  

Several informational health booths were set up to provide education and awareness about physical activity.

Afterwards a meal was provided to all the participants, along with music entertainment by DJ Redline.

Everyone who registered received a snazzy beach towel and shirt.

Be on the lookout for more upcoming events in the Community at a district near you.
