Lighten-Up Lynchburg is a timed 5K Run/Walk to encourage activity and increase awareness about the obesity epidemic. This race is hosted by the Lynchburg Mayor’s Youth Council, and a portion of the money earned will go towards raising obesity awareness.

The 5K will take place at Peaks View Park–a very flat course, so predict fast times! Please park at the Ardmore Drive entrance. Packet Pickup will take place at Riverside Runners on Friday, May 15th from 12-6pm, and Saturday, May 16th from 7-7:30am at Peaksview Park
