Health and Wellness Sponsorships help sustain programs such as Step it Up!, the Grand Explorers’ Trail Race, the Visit Every Park Challenge, and other activities that encourage residents to get active, explore nature, and build healthier lifestyles in Ottawa County Parks.
Step it Up! is a free program designed to help residents of all fitness levels stay active and explore new parks. Participants are encouraged to join an Ottawa County Parks leader on eight (8) weekly walks and other group activities in the spring to get/stay healthy! In 2025, 852 participants enrolled in the Step it Up! program. This year’s Step it up! will be April 28 – June 20, 2026.
The Grand Explorers’ Trail Race is nothing short of Grand: Grand River, Grand Ravines, Grand bridges, and Grand views! Over 360 people participated in the 5K, 10K, or the 1-mile kids’ fun run last year. This year’s race is on June 20, 2026.
