Proceeds from this year's race will support our newest community wellness initiatives: the future Delhi Community Wellness Trail. Currently in the funding application phase, this project will create an approximately ¼-mile walking trail within the green space adjacent to the Delhi Community Health Center, located at 501 Broadway St., in Delhi. More than just a walking path, the vision includes outdoor fitness equipment, pergolas, a serenity garden, and other wellness-focused amenities designed to encourage healthy lifestyles and provide a welcoming space for community members of all ages. Funds raised through this year's race will go directly toward helping bring this vision to life. The Delhi Community Wellness Trail will serve as an important wellness component of the future Delhi Hospital healthcare campus, creating opportunities for recreation, physical activity, relaxation, and community connection for our neighbors. Every registration, sponsorship, and donation brings us one step closer to transforming this vision into reality. For more information on how to support the future Delhi Community Wellness Trail, contact Brooke Nyiri at bnyiri@delhihospital.com.
