UCCE joined Woodlake's 3rd MyPlate 3K Color Run to promote healthy eating and physical activity! This event had over 200 participants including parents! UCCE CalFresh educated the participants to rethink their drink and consume more water. Participants were provided with infused water samples containing orange lime and cucumber mint. Students learned the importance of consuming water and how infused water provides them with additional vitamins and minerals. Many of the students expressed how they loved the orange infused water and continued to come back for more! The event provided participants with an opportunity to learn from each MyPlate food group as well as enjoy tasty food samples. As participants ran to their food group stations they were splashed with a color representing each food group. Students learned the importance of implementing the 5 MyPlate food groups into their meals as well as engaging in physical activity!
