On this holiday,  runners & walkers will be demonstrating the power of RxExercise to improve lives and loving relationships, especially the many who are living well beyond health challenges like arthritis, cancer, diabetes & heart disease with RxExercise shared with loved ones.
  • Perhaps even display a sign on your back proclaiming, “My Heart Is Running for __________________”.

Demonstrate your active-love! If you’re already an active runner/walker you can significantly encourage those whom you love who will be take up exercise because you, family or friend, are walking with them at the Valentines 5k.

 

As with CC's wintry Holiday Run Series Events, while times will not be recorded the display clock will show everyone's finishing time, as will so many of the finishing photographs.
