The Guthrie County Hospital is hosting their 8th annual Heat the Streets run next weekend and this year’s event has something for everyone, regardless of athletic ability.
Saturday, September 20th everyone is invited to the Guthrie County Hospital to walk or run a 2k or 5k distance and new this year is a kids run before the longer races so that all ages can join in on the fun.
Physical therapist Jessica Carney says the event is a fundraiser for the physical therapy and fitness department but there are also other benefits in participating.
“It’s the ability to give back to the community and some people don’t realize that they are. Their registration goes to help people in the community. Also it gets people in our doors, maybe people haven’t seen our facility here and we have a great fitness facility so it’s good to see that. We’ve also started a training group this year and have been doing for five weeks now and getting some people together and maybe’ll they’ll find a running partner or someone they can continue training with” says Carney.
Day of registration starts at 8am with the kids run at 8:30 and two and five K run walks to follow.
The cost to participate is $20 for adults, $10 for students and $5 for the kids run, which includes a t-shirt.
