Get Fit 5K
From Akita Wiki
Get Fit 5K was a 5km run organized by Randy Umetsu and Taylor Fustin in 2014. It was designed as a great jumping point for those looking to get into shape while still being fun for those looking to improve their 5K time. Members of the Akita JET community participated.
"Fit" has several different meanings depending on your country of origin. Fit means "in good physical condition" in the US while it also carries the meaning "physically attractive" in places like the UK. Get Fit 5K seeks to embody both of these meanings as exercise and health are simply awesome. We hope athletic events of this kind will promote healthy fun in Akita.
Jordan Oxborough designed the event logo and flyer.
