5K the FCMC Way!

Floyd County Medical Center is committed to helping improve the health and well being of the residents of Floyd County and surrounding areas. As a healthcare center, we want to encourage and challenge you to start making changes today that will help you lead a more healthy and active lifestyle.

Increasing activity is one of the best ways to enhance our health and is also the area that most of us need the most improvement.   Many of us fall short of the recommended 30 minutes of activity per day that is recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

With this in mind, FCMC has developed a free training program for the residents of the Charles City community, to train 8 weeks with a goal of completing the Charley Western Firecracker 5K on July 4^th. Whether you want to walk or run, or a combination of both, the training program will push you to increase your daily activity, provide tips for improving your overall health and also toss in a few fun incentives along the way.

Although you may not feel ready to complete the 5K on the 4^th, we hope that this program will increase your daily activity level and also give you a positive outlook on making healthy changes in your life.

We are honored to have the support of local businesses, the Charles City Chamber of Commerce, and the Charley Western Firecracker 5K in providing this awesome program to you.

We at FCMC are taking this challenge and we hope that you’ll join us!
