THE 2025 NOT JUST FOR RUNNERS HAS BEEN CANCELLED
THIS IS A PIVOT, NOT THE END!!!
WE ARE PLANNING A VIRTUAL 2025 NJ4R FOR THE FALL — STAY TUNED!
It is with our deepest regret that we must cancel this year’s Not Just For Runners Community Health Fair and 5K/1-Mile event due to unanticipated circumstances. While we are disappointed to share this news, please know that this is only a pause—not an ending. We remain firmly committed to continuing our community health education events and deepening our work in patient advocacy.
We’re actively planning a virtual Not Just For Runners experience this fall during Sacramento Running Week (9/13 - 9/21)! The virtual event will encourage health, wellness, and movement—and will include a medal, swag and in-person opportunities to run, jog, walk, or roll toward your weekly mileage goals.
All participants who have registered for the 5K or 1-Mile events have received an email with instructions on how to transfer their registration to the 2025 NJ4R Virtual Event, receive a full refund, or convert their registration fee to a tax-deductible charitable donation to Elevated Health and Community. If you have questions or concerns, please email us at events@ourhealthelevated.org
Our mission remains unchanged, and we look forward to moving with you again soon. We hope you'll stay connected and join us for our virtual NJ4R and future events. And we hope you'll use our training plans to keep you motivated and moving (see below).
Thank you for your continued support and understanding!
Warm regards,
Not Just For Runners
