5K EVENT

The Princeton Family YMCA’s Conquer the 5K(s) Race/Walk and Fun Run is dedicated to raising awareness about the five killers or “Ks” that lead to heart disease:  high blood pressure, high cholesterol, obesity, diabetes and stress.

In the last 10 years, obesity rates in the United States have increased 60 percent, and more than 50 percent of U.S. adults do not get enough physical activity to make a difference in their health, according to YMCA of the USA.  In addition, an article featured in the New England Journal of Medicine asserts that the current generation of American children could be the first to lead shorter lives than their parents.

The Conquer the 5K(s) race is just one of the many ways that the YMCA is responding to the nation’s growing health crisis by engaging community members to lead healthier lifestyles to prevent and survive heart disease, promoting healthier choices among families and children, and encouraging healthy spirit, mind and body for all.
