Fontana, Ca– On Saturday, October 12, 2019, Let’s Move on the Trail will return for its annual appearance along the Pacific Electric Trail (PET) bringing free resources, games, live demonstrations from Fontana Police Department and Fire Department, and much more. The event will take place from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. between the blocks of Cypress Avenue and Mango Avenue. The event kicks off with a 2.2-mile family walk/run event and a 5-mile bike ride. To register for the walk or bike ride, visit www.healthyfontana.org.

The PET offers seven miles of opportunity to be physically active for better health as well as connectivity to local schools, businesses, and community centers. The annual Let’s Move on the Trail event is a fun and free community event that highlights the PET and engages participants in numerous resources and activities including art and fitness expos, healthy food options, and an open house and live demonstrations from the Fontana Police Department and Fire Department.

The family walk/run, in conjunction with Healthy Rialto, will begin at North Cedar Avenue and the PET, and the bike ride will begin at North Heritage Circle. Both the walk and bike ride will begin at 9:00 a.m. and end at Miller Park Amphitheater. This year, those who register for the events can receive a free event t-shirt and bike helmet, while supplies last.

A variety of resource vendors will line the PET including Animal Services, Friends of the Lewis Library, local dentist offices, San Bernardino County programs, and West Valley Water District to name a few. Central City Community Health Center will also have a mobile clinic at the event offering free glucose and iron screenings. Make sure to also stop by the Art Depot for fun crafts, engaging chalk wall art, and free frozen fruit bars.

Let’s Move on the Trail is not just a health fair that focuses on eating healthy and being active, but reminds participants that “health” includes mental wellness and safety like emergency preparedness for you and your family. “This is a great event for the whole family to get to know your community while picking up a wide variety of free resources. All this, while having fun,” emphasizes Community Services Coordinator, Jasmine Sarsadias.

Be sure to mark your calendars for Saturday, October 12 from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. so you don’t miss out on the fun.
