HI Events & Services - Parkway Run/Walk
Why would a busy heart surgeon take time to not only run but also sponsor a community–wide health event? "Because it is important to this area," notes Michael Nellestein, MD, Heartland Cardio Thoracic Surgery, Heartland Clinic. "I try to lead by example. If I tell my patients diet and exercise are keys to good heart health, I'm going to walk that walk, too."
The Spring St. Joseph Parkway Run/Walk is usually the last Saturday in May. It takes place on a scenic course of rolling hills and residential streets along the St. Joseph Parkway System, considered one of the finest parkways in the United States.
All races begin at Krug Park. The 5K run/walk will end at the Noyes Tennis Center, and the 15K run will end at Hyde Park.
