Dyer Fitness Fest 5K
Dyer Fitness Fest 5K is a community festival in Central Park, Dyer, IN, presented by AP Family Fitness. The event centers on a World Record treadmill attempt and benefits World Vision. Proceeds will support clean water, food, education, and related programs through World Vision.
The festival layout includes a Record Zone with a stage platform, large timer and distance tracker, a donation tracker, sponsor banners, seating, and a live emcee. Community participation is invited alongside the record attempt through short treadmill segments, walking alongside, stationary bike and rowing support, and encouragement laps. A visible message ties the attempt to the fundraising mission.
Festival programming and activity zones include:
- AM 5K Run/Walk
- PM Glow Stick Color Run
Additional festival areas include a Kids Fitness Zone with obstacle courses and relay races, a Fitness Challenge Zone with simple participation events, a Wellness Village staffed by local therapists and trainers, and a Vendor Village with local businesses and food trucks. Main stage updates will report current mileage and donations, and hourly moments will highlight the community contribution. Fundraising features include Sponsor-A-Mile, a Community Mile Challenge with pledge options, and a Wall of Hope where attendees can leave messages for the athlete and World Vision children.
