Dyer Fitness Fest 5K
Dyer Fitness Fest 5K is scheduled for Saturday, September 12, 2026, at Central Park, 900 Central Park Blvd, Dyer, IN. The event is presented by AP Family Fitness and is billed as "Run for More: A World Record Attempt" with proceeds benefiting World Vision. The stated mission is to raise funds to provide clean water, food, education, and hope to children and families around the world.
The festival centers on a World Record Attempt Arena with a stage, large timer and distance tracker, donation tracker, sponsor banners, seating, and a live emcee. Community participation is organized so people can support the attempt by taking short treadmill segments, walking alongside, or providing support from stationary bikes and rowing machines. The event also offers named fundraising activities such as Sponsor-A-Mile, a Community Mile Challenge, and a Wall of Hope where attendees can leave messages.
Festival programming surrounds the record attempt and includes hourly updates on mileage and donations, a midday community walk, and a final hour celebration with a Flash Light 5k, live countdown, music, and community cheering. Additional festival zones include a Kids Fitness Zone with obstacle activities, a Fitness Challenge Zone with simple strength and agility tasks, a Wellness Village with local health professionals, and a Vendor Village with local businesses and food trucks.
