Vandalia Health’s Mon Health Stonewall Jackson Memorial Hospital Wellness Committee is launching the winter 5K season with the Annual Gobble Gallop, a 5K Walk/Run on Thanksgiving Day, November 28.
The event begins at 9 a.m. at 160 Jackson Mill Rd, Weston, WV 26452. Registration costs $5 and can be completed online at https://www.webscorer.com/registerlist?raceid=364361.
“This is a fun event,” said Kevin Stalnaker, Chief Administrative Officer at Mon Health Stonewall Jackson Memorial Hospital. “There is a minimal registration fee with the goal of getting people out on Thanksgiving Day to participate in a healthy activity before that big Thanksgiving dinner. Last year, we had several out-of-town visitors participating, which made it all the more enjoyable.”
The Wellness Committee is dedicated to promoting health in Lewis County and welcomes non-profits interested in joining the initiative. Those who would like to participate can contact the committee at (304) 517-8612.
