Sneakers hit the pavement early Tuesday as the 39th annual AIHF Fun Run/Walk stepped off at AIHA Connect 2025.
Held along a scenic riverside route, the early morning event brought together runners, walkers, and supporters committed to advancing the future of occupational and environmental health and safety. Proceeds from the run benefit AIHF, which provides scholarships and educational support to students in the field.
Whether they ran, walked, or donated from the comfort of their hotel rooms, attendees showed full support. The event welcomed both on-the-ground participants and generous “sleep-in” donors, proving that no matter how you joined in, every step counted toward a stronger future for the profession.
The event, a longstanding tradition at AIHA Connect, emphasized the conference's core mission of community and shared progress in protecting worker health worldwide.
