Winter Wellness Fitness Challenge 5K

Winter Wellness Fitness Challenge 5K


1/26/2015

MARTINSBURG, W.Va. – Hard to stay motivated over the dark and dreary days of winter? The Wellness Center at Berkeley Medical Center has just the thing! The Winter Wellness Fitness Challenge 5K!  It is a 5k, with a twist. 

There is more to fitness than how fast you can complete a 5K or how much weight you can lift. To determine overall fitness, we are combining both of these into one event to allow us to crown someone the fittest person in the area.  

Challenge your cardiovascular fitness by completing a 5K on a treadmill and challenge your muscular strength by performing a lift test. Results will be calculated by subtracting your strength score from your 5K time. The lower your overall time, the better, and more fit you are. Accept the challenge, and let’s see how well you do!

The Challenge will run for the entire month of February.  Any day during the month, come to The Wellness Center, sign in, and except the challenge.  The fee is $10 and is open to all.  No membership required.  

More info and updates can be found on The Wellness Center facebook page or you can contact Brian White @ 304-264-1232 or email brwhite@wvuhealthcare.com.
