New this year, the Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals Celebration Walk will highlight the lives of those who have been helped by Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals. If you know someone who has been helped by the services of CMN Hospitals, get a team together to celebrate them. Each team can have a “poster person” they are walking for. Wear shirts, carry signs and decorate your team to show your spirit for the lives changed by this wonderful organization. Each team with 10 or more members will receive $2 off each race registration. To register your team, contact Justin Bess at 269-1831 or Justin.Bess@coxhealth.com.
Pre-registration fees begin at $10 for children 14 and younger, $20 for adults and $50 for families. All registrants receive a tech shirt. Please see www.coxhealth.com/medmile or call 269-3282 for more information on race day registration, entry fees and more.
This year’s CoxHealth Medical Mile is sponsored by Cox HealthPlans, CoxHealth Auxiliary, Oxford Healthcare, Subway and Fitness Resource Group.
