The 2024 Heywood Healthy Harvest 5k "Healing our Healers" event is scheduled for Saturday, October 26, 2024 - Presented by the Heywood Wellness Committee!

We invite you to join us!

Choose a timed run, brisk walk or enjoy a 30 minute facilitated Yoga session.  *Virtual participation option. 

Proceeds: This year's proceeds will be earmarked for the benefit of the Heywood Healthcare Caring for Colleagues and Employee Wellness Programs!

Our healthcare teams are the bedrock of compassionate care and unwavering dedication. They put their heart and soul into every patient they see, every shift they work, and every challenge they face. Yet, behind their incredible resilience, there lies a pressing need for support that often goes unnoticed and unmentioned: their mental health and wellness. Their well-being is crucial not only for their own health but also for the quality of care they provide to our community. Supporting their wellness means ensuring they have the strength, focus, and resilience to continue their vital work with the compassion and expertise we rely on.

AWARDS: The top male & female winning race participants will be crowned, and age category winners will join the court.  An award will also be presented for Most Spirited Team! To start or to join a team please remember to follow the prompt at the bottom of your registration page.
