Let’s Get Moving 5K

The Let’s Get Midwest City Moving 5K Walk/Run is a free family fun, non competitive 5K that has been a staple event in the community since 2013. Every October families from every corner of the Midwest City community come together for a walk, run, bike, or skip at Joe B. Barnes Park. This family friendly 5K is free to all participants and is a great way to get moving with your family, friends, and community!

ONIE’s formative research revealed that Oklahoma families wanted more family-time and lacked the confidence to exercise. Using this research, ONIE developed Let’s Get Moving, a fun-filled family event that gets sedentary families moving. The program evaluation evidences that this event attracts & sustains participation in physical activity among low-income, sedentary families.

This yearly event gathers over 1,000 people and reaches more than 6,000 unique individuals of all ages. All registered participants get weekly text messages with healthy living tips, ways to stay active, and delicious recipes to enjoy with the family.
