HASTINGS — Being healthy can also be fun. That’s the message behind the eighth annual Fun Wun at Mary Lanning Healthcare.
Amanda Schroeder, wellness coach, said the annual Fun Wun, which gives participants the option of a 3k/5k run/walk, has grown to include around 700 Mary Lanning employees, family members and friends.
“The Fun Wun really is about letting people know that wellness doesn’t have to be all work,” Schroeder said.
“This free event helps employees incorporate their wellness goals into a morning filled with camaraderie,” Schroeder said. “Employees support one another in finishing the run/walk. Some try to be competitive in finishing the event in good time, while others just enjoy walking, chatting and spending time with others.”
The event begins at 9 a.m. on Saturday, April 30, in the north parking lot behind the Mary Lanning Medical Services Building, 715 N. Kansas Ave. Walkers/runners proceed along the designated route, which includes Heartwell Park. All Mary Lanning employees and their family members are invited to attend. Friends can attend for a $10 fee.
Employees, their family and friends will celebrate finishing the Fun Wun with a healthy snack, prizes and fun activities for children.
