La Crosse Holds Fitness Festival
La Crosse Parks and Recreational Development has announced a first-ever Fitness Festival that includes the first marathon in La Crosse history along with a half marathon, cycle criterium, 5K race, kids races, fitness expo, and last but not least a mascot race.
The festival kicks off Friday, May 1 with the Fitness Expo which will go from 5pm-9pm and is located at the La Crosse Center. This event is free to everyone and is all based on health and fitness. There will be numerous vendors and exhibitors so people of all ages can learn and see the newest and coolest tricks of the trade in the health and fitness industries.
The expo will continue on Saturday May 2 again at the La Crosse Center from 11am-8pm. Also at the expo, there is the chance to purchase your very own La Crosse Fitness Festival gear and clothing to show your pride in our city’s movement to be number one. The La Crosse Center is also the location for packet pick up for the marathon and half marathon runners.
To register for this great event check out the web at www.lacrossefitnessfestival.com or stop in the City of La Crosse Parks and Recreation Office. Registration for the full and half marathon ends on April 30. One thing that can’t be forgotten is the special finishers’ dry wick long sleeves that are given to each runner to help commemorate your accomplishment. On Sunday the city is hosting a unique event called the cycling criterium.
