Stay Active

Saturday, September 21, 2024

From participants and sponsors to fans cheering along the racecourse, St. Luke’s FitOne draws thousands of people of all ages to downtown Boise for a fun, community-oriented race.

But it’s more than a great way to spend a September morning. It’s something much bigger—a platform to inspire healthy living, healthy communities, and fun activities kids and families can enjoy for years to come.

FitOne is about building health from the ground up. Every dollar we raise goes toward helping children and families live their healthiest lives.

FitOne funds support initiatives aimed at improving health outcomes in our communities. Previous projects funded by FitOne include the development of school tracks, installation of hydration stations and contributions to the St. Luke’s Children’s Pavilion, among others.
