HAGERSTOWN, MD - The annual 5k "Fun Run" at the Review and Herald Publishing campus in Hagerstown just expanded into a full health expo.
Local police and firefighters came out to meet the public, followed by an exciting helicopter landing used to teach kids what it's like to be an officer.
The health expo is free for families with information booths, a moon bounce, and face painting.
"We believe that it can really impact your health if you eat right, if you exercise, if you just de-stress a little bit from time to time, we believe it will transform you," says Dwain Esmond, with Review and Herald Publishing.
Event officials says runners and walkers of all ages crossed the finish line Sunday morning, including a couple in their early 80's.
