Teddy Bear Health Fair

New this year join us for the MSU Teddy Bear Health Fair either before or after your child's race! At this free community event, children and their adult friends can engage in fun physical activities to get their bodies moving, enjoy samples of delicious healthy snacks, and interact with first responders, health professionals, and MSU medical students.

Children are encouraged to bring their favorite teddy bear or stuffed animal for a ‘health checkup’ at the Teddy Bear Hospital and adults can discover health and wellness resources in their community.
