Be Fit 5k Fun Run was back for the 2024 ADIV weekend
The team at Positively Chiropractic came through, yet again, organizing another successful Be Fit 5k Fun Run. The race, which is in its 8th year, took place bright and early on Saturday morning, June 22, coinciding with the second day of the 2024 A Day in the Village celebration.
Dr. Erin Clifton of the chiropractic practice announced the beginning of the race, but not before getting a group selfie of all the runners and walkers who turned out for the event. Among the faster runners ready to start the race was Micah Bolton, who later was the first runner to cross the finish line. Bolton’s overall time: 18:42 (a 6:02 pace).
SCN was on hand to capture some of the excitement.

This annual 5k fun run requires lots of volunteer help.
The last minute scramble as participants check in moments before the start of the 5k event.
Positively Chiropractic depends on many local sponsors to help make the Be Fit 5k Fun Run a success.
Runners and walkers, and a few along for the ride, head to the starting line.

More runners assemble minutes before Dr. Erin Clifton signals the start of the race.
Faster runners are encouraged to assemble at the front before the start of the 5k. This year’s 5k winner is in this group. Can you guess which one he is?
No second thoughts here; these women were happy to be participating in the run.
And they’re off…!
The crowd is made up of runners and walkers, even a few four-legged friends.
Another volunteer reports for duty.
