Sneakers are hitting the pavement early Tuesday morning as the 39th Annual AIHF Fun Run/Walk gets underway at AIHA Connect 2025. From 6:30 to 8:00 a.m. on May 20, participants will take on a 5K run or a 2K walk—all in support of the American Industrial Hygiene Foundation’s (AIHF) mission to fund future OEHS professionals.
Whether you're an avid runner, a casual walker, or simply prefer to support from the comfort of your hotel bed, there’s a way to give back. “Sleep-in donations” are welcome for those who'd rather cheer on from afar.
All participants—including individual runners, team entries, and sleep-in donors—must check in at the Fun Run Desk located at Registration, 2300 Lobby, Kansas City Convention Center. Desk hours are:
- Sunday: 12:30–3:30 p.m.
- Monday: 9:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m.
So lace up, show up, or snooze and support—every step counts toward a healthier future for the OEHS community.
