LMC’s Heart & Sole Women's Five Miler

Lexington Medical Center will host the Heart & Sole Women’s Five Miler on Saturday, April 25. Starting and ending at beautiful Finlay Park, the course will take participants through scenic downtown Columbia. Established in 2002 by women and for women, the Heart & Sole Women’s Five Miler was created to draw attention to the number one killer of women—heart disease. The popular race/walk attracts women of all ages and athletic abilities from all over the state—from elite female runners to women participating in their first formal walk. All are welcome. Paired with the Heart & Sole event will be a health and wellness expo, offering blood pressure checks, health screenings and information on healthy living to help women protect themselves from this deadly disease. The course is sanctioned by USA Track & Field. Split times are provided at every mile, and water and first aid are available at three points along the course.

Registration cost: Varies (see website for details).
