 "We are pleased that so many people were inspired to challenge
themselves at our event," said Joe Santillo, certified athletic
trainer at ALMH SportsCare and one of the event coordinators. "The
atmosphere was very positive and motivating, and we enjoyed seeing
families and co-workers participating together and cheering for one
another."Many seasoned and first-time runners trained for the
event. Santillo said there are many health benefits to both running
and walking that extend beyond weight-loss programs. Both are great
cardiovascular workouts and contribute to muscle tone, range of
motion and more.
