Juneteenth GVL Wellness Celebration: 5K Race/Walk and Wellness Event
This is more than a race.
This is movement with meaning.

And this year makes 5!
5 years of impact.

5 years of moving with purpose as a community.

Whether you are a seasoned runner, a casual walker, pushing a stroller, getting off the couch, or just ready to move your body, this experience was created with you in mind.

What to Expect
We are bringing the energy all morning with options for everybody:

Now listen… this is where it turns into a whole situation.

We are bringing in celebrity fitness instructor Dwight Holt Jr., founder of the high-energy Dance Your Pounds Off movement. And no, this is not your average workout.

This is music up, sweat flowing, crowd moving, good energy everywhere. Dwight knows how to pull people in and keep it fun, so even if you came just to watch… you are probably leaving out there dancing.

So yes, come cute. But more importantly, come ready. Because DYPO is going to be a whole vibe!

This is Year 5!  And we are not just celebrating, we are continuing the work.

This experience brings our community together around movement, wellness, and connection, with a special emphasis on honoring our veterans and creating space for every generation to show up and be part of something meaningful.

Pull Up and Be Part of It!
Five years in.
Still showing up.
Still making it count.

Now it is your turn!
