75 runners and walkers are registered to take part in the Llano Not So Fun Run, scheduled for Saturday, the 6th at Badu Park in Llano. “We are excited about the number of people who have registered in advance and look forward to a great first race,” said Mary Rhodes, Llano Memorial Healthcare System Community Relations Director. “The idea for LMHS to hold a fun run came as a result of the employee wellness initiative kicked off last summer. We had so many people realize the benefit of increased activity levels; especially the health benefit that can come from walking not to mention jogging or running, that we thought it was time for the health system to sponsor its own walk/run.”

The run, which will be an annual event in conjunction with February being recognized as American Heart Month, offers an opportunity for walkers/runners in the 1 mile, 5K and 10K categories. According to run organizer, Colette Todd, the name “Llano’s Not So Fun Run” comes from the hills and inclines participants will face along the way.” All runners/walkers, regardless of the category they are participating in, will start at 9AM from the Badu Park starting point and follow Ellis to Dallas Street with a turn around at Autumn Avenue. The route for 5K and 10K runners/walkers will take them across the bridge thru the southwest part of town.
