Getting out. Giving back. Getting fit.
The goal of the Mississippi Medley Run/Walk Series is to offer an easy way for community members to be active while adding an element of community fun. We try to eliminate some of the barriers and excuses to being active by making it easier to register for multiple races, making it more affordable through discounted fees, offering support throughout the series, and encouraging participants of all levels (first timer through competitive athlete).
REGISTRATION FOR 2015 SERIES IS CLOSED.

Sit to Fit: An Active Start
Gundersen Health System, Winona Health, and Live Well Winona are teaming up to help you get an active start! Sit to Fit is a nine-week program beginning April 16th, designed for those who want to begin a walking or running program and for those who simply want to get moving to improve their health.
Professionals from both Gundersen Health System and Winona Health will lead programs to ensure individuals get started safely and to help each person stay motivated to reach their goals. There will be weekly group run/walks in addition to clinics covering the body’s response to exercise, shoe clinic, injury prevention, grocery store tour, goal setting, and tips for endurance.
Participants are also encouraged to register for the Team Vogel Vs. Cancer 5k on June 27th to celebrate their progress!

- FAQ
-
Is this series only for serious runners? NO, definitely not! We want people of all ages and abilities to experience the joy and satisfaction of being active.
How many races do I have to do? Register for a minimum of 4 races for adults and 3 races for kids.
What’s in it for me? Cool t-shirt from each race, improved fitness, series apparel if you register for 8 or more 5ks, series medal if you register for all 12 races, finish line refreshments after each race, and a huge sense of personal satisfaction!
Can I register as a team? Unfortunately we do not have a team discount, however through our series you are getting a very good deal on the registration fee! Some races do have team challenges, and you’ll see a place to add your team name on the registration form for those specific races. We still encourage you to sign up with a friend or family member to make it even more fun.
Can I bring a stroller and my dog? Most races in this series are stroller-friendly, however the Mud/Trail Run is NOT one of them. Dogs are not permitted at the Mud/Trail Run, or at any of the races around East Lake Winona. Additional races may not allow dogs, so please contact them directly.
