Arrowhead Regional Medical Center (ARMC) will host its 11th Annual 5K Walk/Run on March 17 at 8:30 a.m. to promote the fight against obesity and other health conditions. The 3.1-mile Walk/Run will take place on the ARMC campus and will include activities for adults and children.
The route interlaces through roads in the neighborhood adjacent to the hospital. The best method of registration is advanced online registration at www.arrowheadmedcenter.org. Participants who arrive at the event un-registered will be required to complete identification and liability paperwork before the Walk/Run. Day-of registration begins at 7:00 a.m. and no registration will be accepted after 8:15 a.m. (Please arrive early enough to find parking and get to the registration area.)
The Health Expo will include free basic health screenings (height, weight, BMI analysis, blood pressure, blood sugar monitoring and stroke risk assessment). Numerous booths will offer information, giveaways, and fun activities for the entire family. Free T-shirts will be offered while supplies last.
Regular physical activity can produce a variety of long-term health benefits for people of all ages, backgrounds and abilities. The Walk/Run ties in with San Bernardino County’s Vision2BActive campaign to improve health and wellness in the county.
