Registration going on now for local 5K to support Community Health Center of Fort Dodge

Community Health Center of Fort Dodge, in partnership with Live Healthy Iowa (LHI), will be hosting a 5K in Fort Dodge on Saturday, April 13th. If you register online before March 27, the cost for the race is only $25. For children aged 12 and younger, there is a 1K kid's fun run available for just $5. It is important to note that late or onsite registration does not guarantee a T-shirt.

This event aims to promote physical fitness and overall health within the community. Participating in a 5K can be a great way to engage in cardiovascular exercise and improve endurance. It also provides an opportunity for individuals of all fitness levels to come together in a fun and supportive environment. Whether you are an experienced runner or want to get out for a walk, this event offers a chance to challenge yourself and achieve personal fitness goals. In addition, proceeds from the event will benefit Community Health Center of Fort Dodge with locations in Fort Dodge, Dayton, Eagle Grove, and Mason City as well as Live Healthy Iowa Kids initiatives.

The 5K run/walk will begin at 8:00 am near the trail at Rosedale Rapids Aquatic Center. The 1K kid’s fun run will take place around 9:00 am. All pre-registered participants will receive a Live Healthy Iowa 5K T-shirt, race number, finisher medal, and a gift card to local sponsor Brown's Shoe Fit Co and Third Thursday Fit Night. To get more information or to register for the race, you can visit the website chcfd.com. However, if you wait until race day, the price increases to $30.
