Looking to have fun, meet new people, get in some exercise and enjoy tasty local brews this summer?
You can do all four at the East Side Fun Run, a new, free program available at the Mercy Health – Anderson HealthPlex.
Anderson HealthPlex and Tri-State Running Company have teamed up to offer a series of un-timed, fun runs on the Five Mile Trail.
The fun runs are free and all levels of runner, from beginner to expert, are welcome. You choose your own distance and get tips from the pros as you go along.
The runs start at 6:30 p.m. at the Anderson HealthPlex, located at 7495 State Road, Cincinnati, ZIP 45255, on the third Thursday of each summer month:
• May 19
• June 16
• July 21
• August 18
The runs will take place rain or shine but the HealthPlex will cancel runs if there’s lightning.
Physical therapists from Mercy Health Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine will offer free musculoskeletal screenings at the East Side fun runs.
The runs end back at the HealthPlex for a social gathering. Fifty West Brewing Company will be provide refreshments and you can win T-shirts and other prizes from the HealthPlex as you mingle with friends.
You don’t need to be a member of the HealthPlex to join the fun runs.
