The Guthrie County Hospital’s “Heat the Streets” 5k is still a couple of months away, but that doesn’t mean training for the event won’t soon be starting.

In fact, hospital staff is conducting a survey to gauge interest from county residents on whether or not they should start a six-week 5k training program prior to the run.

Teams would be formed and meet once or twice per week for group runs.  Other training for the 5k would be up to event participants themselves.

This year’s “Heat the Streets” run will be held on Saturday, September 20th and registration will be opening soon.

If any area residents are interested in joining a running team with GCH, call physical therapist Jessica Carney at the GCH Fitness Center at 641-332-3810.
