Wichita Mayor Carl Brewer is challenging the city to try and beat him at the new Mayor's 5K Challenge! Run through downtown Wichita and see the Mayor's city at its best ~ through new developments in Old Town, Downtown, and by the new Arena!
From the Mayor:
Below is an excerpt from the Mayor's State of the City Address on January 27, 2009.
...Finally, as we move into 2009, we need to think about our personal health. Wichita must strive to be a healthy and compassionate community.
We need to seek ways to connect people to public health services in times of need. The City Council must support policies and measures that make our community a healthier place.
But personal responsibility is as important as sound policy. We can all do a better job of making better choices regarding diet and exercise. Tonight I’m proud to announce a new run/walk event. The City is teaming up with Run Wichita to hold the first Mayor’s 5K challenge. It’ll be held Oct. 18 during the annual Wichita Marathon. More details are coming soon. But I promise you, I’ll be running. I’ve already started training and eating better. Just ask my wife… she’s closely monitoring my new lifestyle.
So, please join me in making your personal health a top priority. Start by asking your doctor to put you on a plan for good health.

Trish and Ashok Bajaj were wonderful and involved volunteers for the Wichita Marathon. They are missed.
Consider Yourself Challenged!
