Even with the March 23rd snow, we are still gearing up for our May 7th Run for Hope 5K at Valley Natural Foods! It just over a month away, believe it or not. Rain or shine, or I hate to even mention the word again–snow, all runners will be strutting their stuff for a great cause.  All proceeds will benefit Hope for Tomorrow, a mentoring organization for young people in the south metro.

Although we can’t guarantee the weather on May 7th, we can guarantee that if you register by April 7th online or in-store, you will receive a free t-shirt in your size! This is only a few weeks away! Therefore start thinking spring and gearing up to participate in our 5K! Sign up today!

Once you have decided to enter our 5K race, the next step is to start practicing. Coming to the race unprepared could put you at risk for injury. Figure out your weak spots during training and focus on those. Practicing prior to the big day will prepare you for what’s to come! It is also important to incorporate stretching into your workout routine. Warm up your body by doing stretches from head to toe. Stretch everything from your neck to your hamstrings. This will also help prevent injury!

For more information on the 5K event and Hope for Tomorrow, read our blog from last week and/or the official press release.
