Annual RIDA 5K Run/Walk

The 6th annual Rhode Island Dietetic Association’s Nutrition Fuels Fitness 5K Walk/Run and Kids in Motion Fun Runs was held on Saturday April 11 at Goddard Park. This year a new obstacle course for kids was added. A record breaking number of kids participated in the obstacle course and dashes. Three hundred and fifty seven (357) people ran or walked the 5K.

Thanks to all RIDA members, colleagues, friends, and family members who donated and purchased raffle tickets. Fifteen awesome prizes were raffled off to very excited winners.

The health fair was a tremendous success with exhibitors ranging from “Ask a Dietitian” to health screenings, massage and tasty energy bars.

The RIDA 5K Committee is commended for their tireless efforts to make this one of the most desirable family fun events.
