Start Strong Stay Strong is hosted by the Centered Foundation, designed to promote health, fitness, and wellness within the community. Athletes can participate in a run/walk or a dedicated 1-Mile event for kids, ideal for introducing young competitors to racing. The event welcomes runners, walkers, and endurance athletes of all levels, and is open to participants with strollers or canine training partners. Proceeds support youth and families through education, scholarships, and community engagement initiatives, encouraging healthy routines and enhancing both physical and mental performance. Early registrants may receive a long-sleeve event t-shirt.
