Northwest Medical Center is the proud sponsor of an Annual 5K & 1Mile Walk/Run to help promote wellness and fitness throughout the Northwest Missouri region. The race is held on the first Saturday of June and is held in conjunction with the Albany R-III Tri-Learn-a-Thon events.
The 3rd Annual 2011 event drew a record crowd of 138 participants. All participants were invited to bring their friends and family to a Friday night packet pickup and late registration to enjoy a Spaghetti Dinner fundraiser to benefit Relay for Life. This event brought in $500 to benefit American Cancer Society. Saturday morning, race participants of all ages enjoyed a fun and challenging one mile or 5K course that was professionally timed by “Run Kansas City.” After the event, participants enjoyed breakfast prepared by the Albany Fire Department while the awards were presented to top finishers. The Tri-Learn-a-Thon students that completed the 2010 challenge of 26 miles, 26 good deeds, and 26 books were honored during the awards ceremony. There were 34 students and 1 teacher that completed the first Tri-Learn-a-Thon challenge and were recognized for their hard work and dedication throughout the year.
Awards were presented to the top 3 male and female finishers in the age division of 12 and under for the one-mile course. The top female finishers were Lulu Brown, Danielle Major and Grace Wilson. The top male finishers were Quinn Manring, Andrew Sweat and Nate Doolittle.
