Platte River Fitness Series Community Health Initiative

Platte River Fitness Series Community Health Initiative The Platte River Fitness Series is a unique community fitness initiative that motivates and inspires

The Platte River Fitness Series (PRFS) is a community fitness initiative. It links people who are trying to create or maintain an active, healthy lifestyle with each other. The PRFS offers ample and diverse fitness events to give individuals tangible goals to work toward as they achieve and advance physical fitness and an infectious zest for life. The PRFS focus is on participation, and uses a poi

nts system to reward reaching the start and finish lines, to accept new challenges, and to improve performance which reflects gains in overall fitness. In addition, participants receive recognition for completing the complete year-long series. The PRFS is devoted to the idea that one person helps one person who in turn helps another, to find the profound value in living life in a truly healthful way. In community, the athletes of the PRFS support, encourage and compete with members of the PRFS "fitness family", and together create a community culture that reflects fitness, good health, and embraces all aspects of human wellness.

This year marks the solemn 25th Anniversary of 9/11. Local PRFS athletes Kelli Nichelson and Krysti Deckert are working with the Travis Manion Foundation to bring our community another opportunity to honor the service and sacrifice of our first responders and military heroes and another opportunity for those who love to ruck, run or walk. The 9/11 Heroes Run/Ruck/Walk is a virtual 5K, but Kelli and Krysti are organizing a local "shadow event," a way for our community to share the experience together in-person on Friday, September 11th at 7:00 p.m. beginning at the 20th Century Veterans Memorial in Iron Horse Park. Register at https://www.travismanion.org/events/911-heroes-run
When you register, you will receive an event shirt and participant medal from the TMF. If you enter the ruck division, you will also receive a ruck patch.

Join a 9/11 Heroes Run to honor the sacrifices of September 11th and the wars that followed. Events take place each September in 100 communities, uniting over 60,000 Americans.

We are near the end of July and ready to say hello to August! Our first August offering, the Whitaker's Way 5K & 10K, is all about running pioneer Jim Whitaker and the North Platte Trails Network. The Hershey Adventure 5K Re-Run on the 29th lets everyone get kids back to school and the new school year routines figured out before we have fun "playing in the mud!" Both of these events are going to be amazing!

So much fun, fitness and color! Thanks to the Nebraska Kidney Association for Color Run family fun!!
