Organizers of Live Well Ferguson 5K Twilight Run/Walk are excited to announce Christian Hospital as a new partner in joining the effort to provide healthy and active events in Ferguson, Mo. A recognized leader of quality health care, Christian Hospital and its foundation are dedicated to helping people enjoy life by improving their health through the support of community programs.

The partnership is ideal as planning is underway for the second Live Well Ferguson 5K Twilight Run/Walk, set for Saturday, May 14, 2011 in downtown, Ferguson.

Hundreds of participants will enjoy a USATF certified course for the only twilight run/walk event in North St. Louis County. The races start and finish at Plaza at 501, an outdoor entertainment area at the intersection of Florissant Road and Suburban Avenue. The event includes post-race festivities, including a concert, vendors and specials at local restaurants.

Proceeds benefit youth scholarships to attend camp programs at the Emerson Family YMCA.

In 2010, its inaugural year, Live Well Ferguson 5K attracted more than 900 participants.

In 2011, the goal is to attract 1,200 participants.

Race fees are $15 for the 5K through May 2; fees increase to $20 afterward. Special rates are offered to teams of 10 or more participants. Awards and prizes will be presented to top finishers. The course is timed by Big River Running.
