B Well 5k
Join us for a fun and energizing B Well 5K Run/Walk where the only thing serious is the good vibes! Whether you’re a seasoned runner or a power-walking pro, this is your chance to get moving, connect with coworkers, and enjoy some fresh air. Expect music, snacks, high-fives, and a few surprises along the way. Let’s get our steps in and smiles on—see you at the starting line!
Highlights of 2025’s offerings
Community lunches – Free lunches for staff will be offered on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday! Join us for Bingo on Tuesday in Commons room 221-222. Thursday’s lunch (after the 5k) will feature food trucks in the Library Quad with Dottie’s Ice Cream Truck providing dessert once again!
Monday Courses – Once again, we have a handful of courses scheduled for Monday, to extend the event and encourage more people to attend.
2025 Fundraising Partner– This year we are turning inward and looking to fundraise for our own Bernie Carpenter fund. Partnering with The College Store we are looking to raise funds for the week of and before Employee Enrichment Week. Visit the BCF page for more information on this year’s effort.
Photo contest – The photo contest returns! Categories this year are “A Taste of Lewiston” and “Street Photography”. Please view the photo contest page for more details.
