It looks like we will have another bout of nasty weather rolling in for Saturday so we are rescheduling the fun run/walk for Sunday, April 22. Registration will open at 12:00 near the amphitheater. The walk will begin at 1:00pm, and the run will begin at 1:30pm.

We are partnering with Schaal Physical Therapy & Fitness Center for the Losing for Life 5k Fun Run/Walk. It is coming up soon on April 21st, at Parmer Park in Burlington. Everybody is welcome to participate regardless of if you are in the contest or not. The event is free if you are a contest participant, or $20 if you are not. Kids 12 & under are free. Registration opens at 7:00am, the walk will begin at 8:00am, and the run will begin at 8:30am. There will be two water stops along the way, along with snacks and refreshments after the finish line. Every participant will be entered in a drawing for prizes at the end of the event.

The Parmer Park was a Burlington Rotary Club project completed several years ago. By participating in the contest and these special events, you are helping Rotary to continue doing more projects for the community!

You are halfway through the contest at this point! We hope your journey is going well so far and we want to encourage you to keep up the good work. Thank you for your participation!

Contest registration is open! Visit any of the locations listed to the left between now and March 8 to grab an entry packet, fill out the form inside, and weigh in. Please mail your completed entry form, waiver, and payment in to the P.O. Box listed on the form, or drop it off at Unique Dwelling in Burlington. Fees are $60 for the individual categories, and $200 for a team of 3-6 participants. If you would like to compete both individually and as part of a team, the fee must be paid for both categories. You don't have to feel bashful about your weight, it will be kept private! Please note that some locations may have limited hours posted to weigh in.

We'd like to send a big thank you out to all of our generous sponsors so far!

Losing for Life is a 90-day weight loss contest brought to you by the Burlington Rotary Club. It is open to adults age 18 and up, in Kit Carson County, Wray, Goodland, Cheyenne Wells, and the surrounding area. The challenge begins March 1^st and ends May 31^st. Individual entry categories are ladies age18-39 and 40+, and men age 18-39 and 40+. Team entries are allowed for groups of 3-6 participants age 18+, ladies, men, or combined. There is a $500 cash grand prize for the winner of each category. 2^nd and 3^rd place will receive either a 6-month gym membership or a Fitbit.

The goal of this project is to have fun and build comradery in the community while promoting healthy lifestyles in the high plains area. Proceeds from the contest will go to the Burlington Rotary Club to be used for projects that will benefit the greater community.

During the contest, there will be events to help motivate and encourage exercise and comradery with the contestants participating in the contest. One event will be a 5k (3.1 miles) walk/run in Burlington in April. Another event will be a bike ride from Burlington to a neighboring community with refresh stations along the way. This will be held in May. Both events will be open to the public for a fee and free for Losing for Life contestants. After the completion of the contest, there will be an awards ceremony in Burlington in June. Be sure to check out the Burlington Rotary Club Facebook page or www.losingforlife.club for event updates!
