5K Scrub Run/Walk

June 10, 2023 @ 9:00 am - 11:00 am

Women running outside for sportKick off summer vacation with a fun run along Lake Minnewaska, and support our First Responders!

The GRHS 5K Scrub Run/Walk is a family event, dogs and strollers are welcome! The race is timed, but not officially, with proceeds going toward a local cause – Help for Heroes – paying for mental health for our Pope County First Responders (Help for Heroes is through the Fraternal Order of Police).

Pre-registered participants choose from either a t-shirt or women’s rocker-style tank top.

Whatever your health and fitness goals are, with an attitude of “I can and I will”, you can achieve them. Inspired by Dr. Mark Johnson, everyone at Glacial Ridge Health System wishes you well and encourages you to get active and stay active.

100% of the 2023 Scrub Run profit will benefit our Pope County First Responders. Plus, the back of this year’s t-shirt and tank top states, “First Responders Have Our Backs”.

5K, 10K, Half Marathon Training Plan

Running for Beginners – Six-week Plan

Your first steps include:

  1. Own a very good pair of running shoes. Make sure they are appropriate for your feet and the way you run/walk.
  2. Stay hydrated. Drink at least 8 glasses of water daily, or more if it’s hot outside or you’re exerting yourself.

Other good ideas:

  1. Run with a buddy, even if you don’t run at the same pace. You’ll keep each other accountable.
  2. Wear clothes that make you feel good. Yes, your workout clothes can help get your workout started, and they can improve your performance.
  3. Add some strength training to your routine.
  4. Don’t forget to warm up before exercising with dynamic stretching to get your heart and muscles ready to go. Save the 30-second stretches for after your run/walk. Aim for 5 minutes both before and after a strenuous workout.
