BWC Gears Up for Annual Spring Into Health ‘Healthraiser’ Run

 

 

Brunswick Wellness Coalition (BWC) is preparing for its annual Spring Into Health 5k/1m Run on Saturday, March 15. Participants can run, walk, stroll, or roll along the route to raise awareness about living healthy lifestyles. All ages, skill levels, and abilities are encouraged to participate. Participant medals and age category trophies will be awarded. Form a team to be eligible for the Spunky Team Award which will be presented to the team that harnesses creativity and energy. Dr. Leigh Lane, the Coalition’s Executive Director said, “This year, Cape Fear Fitness is our platinum sponsor. We are grateful to have them as a partner. With this year’s event pairing with the Ides of March, usually a somber time, we expect to see a happier vibe with a lot of Roman toga attire. An after event meet up at Fizzy Jane’s in downtown Southport is also planned.” If an individual or organization cannot participate but wants to contribute, the run has donation options that will be used with proceeds to further BWC’s mission.

As a founding member of BWC and a supporter of community health initiatives, Dosher Memorial Hospital will host the 2025 Spring Into Health 5k/1m Run as a continued demonstration to quality community health involvement. The hospital will serve as the starting and finishing line for the run. Lane said, “Dosher has not only been a committed member of BWC since its inception but continues to serve as a health champion for the community.”
