Team Franciscan Center: The 5k is Almost Here

Dr. Jack Harless

The 5K is almost here! If you haven't registered you have a month left to prepare & train.

You can choose to walk or run this event. Either way you will get great exercise & if you have a buddy to complete it with, the day is much more enjoyable. Invite a friend!

There will once again be medals given to the top three finishers in each category. The top three male & female overall will receive a prize. Last year we had many of those medals claimed by our very own St. Leonard residents!

We will once again host a 5K training seminar this month to help you get prepared for this event. This is an educational workshop for the novice as well as the seasoned walker/runner. We will cover topics such as what to expect at a 5K, how best to prepare physically as well as mentally, and for those of you who were here in years past, what strategies you can develop to increase your performance & decrease your time!

This workshop is con-ducted by our very own Anna-Bridgette Shorten. She has successfully completed three full marathons, including the prestigious Boston Marathon. Come learn from our resident ex-pert!
