Workout and Run Your Heart Out | All Day

Run Your Heart Out by running on one of our sponsored treadmills on that day! When you are here for your workout, look for a sponsored treadmill and hop on. All miles are recorded electronically so you just have to move. Get a workout while helping your community – our sponsors will take care of the donation by contributing $5 for EACH mile you run or walk on a sponsored treadmill!

Sponsor a Treadmill | $5 per every mile ran or walked on the treadmill that day ($250 average)

Show your support for Family Wellness and sponsor a treadmill with a team of your workout buddies or sponsor a treadmill as a family! Your name(s) will be displayed on the treadmill and you will be recognized as a donor. Interested? Contact Karsyn, Community Wellness & Development Coordinator at karsyn.wendt@sanfordhealth.org.
