Fitness’ was the Word of the Day in Stone Harbor with Ron Jaworski’s Fitness Festival

The event was designed to appeal to everyone from competitive athletes to families, and even the family dog. The approach proved true with over 700 registered participants and festival attendance in the thousands. “The Fitness Festival was a great event and huge success from both a fundraising and participation perspective. We are thrilled about the number of people who came out for a fun-filled day of fitness and look forward to the future of this event in Stone Harbor,” said ESPN’s Monday Night Football Analyst and former NFL Eagles great Ron Jaworski, co-founder of the event.
The Fitness Festival kicked off with a 5K at 9 a.m. with more than a dozen local mascots holding an honorary ‘start’ by racing the first 50 meters and then cheering on the 5K participants, which consisted of competitive runners, joggers, walkers, families, young children, strollers and even some four-legged friends. Awards were given to the best-dressed team and largest team.
