Festival Foods La Crosse Fitness Festival to Present Charities with Donation Checks - 5/14/12

The 4th annual Festival Foods La Crosse Fitness Festival took place May 4-6, 2012. The Festival raised money for three local charities, the St. Clare Health Mission, Special Recreation of La Crosse and the Youth Enrichment Association. On Tuesday, May 15th, 2012 the Festival Foods La Crosse Fitness Festival will present the three beneficiaries with their donation checks. The presentation will be held at the Myrick Park Main Shelter (200 La Crosse St.) at 6:00pm.

The three day celebration welcomed both local residents and visitors from across the country to participate. There were over 4,000 participants in attendance throughout the weekend’s events, which included a half marathon, half marathon relay, 5K run/walk, youth races, bike tour, cycling time trial and cycling criterium.

This two-day celebration gives area residents and visitors from across the country an opportunity to enjoy active, aerobic outdoor events amidst the breathtaking natural beauty of the Mississippi River Valley. The wide range of activities--from a full marathon to a 5-kilometer walk--offers challenges to both experienced and novice athletes of all ages and fitness levels. Our new event for 2010 is a bike tour.

Proceeds from the La Crosse Fitness Festival are donated to the St. Clare Health Mission, Youth Enrichment Association, and Special Olympics of La Crosse.

Thank you to our generous sponsors!
