From Jones Memorial Hospital,
WELLSVILLE, NY (February 14, 2024) – The Jones Memorial Hospital GLOW 5K Run & Walk is back for the 10th annual event! The fun, family event will take place on Friday, May 2 at the Wellsville Municipal Airport located at 2600 Tarantine Drive in Wellsville.
Started in 2013 as a nighttime trail run/walk in Island Park, the GLOW moved to the Wellsville Municipal Airport for the event in 2019 (and was on hiatus for a couple years due to COVID). The 5K route uses paved roads around the runway, which is much easier for those pushing strollers. Registration and awards take place in the hanger where a DJ will provide music.
Carrie Walker and Mandy Sibble of Jones Memorial Hospital co-chair this event each year. Stated Walker, “We are thrilled to oversee this event again this year and look forward to seeing even more new faces.” The event, which took a break for COVID, returned in 2023 and has grown steadily each year to almost 300 participants last year. “We hope to continue that growth and bring even more families out for an evening of fun and wellness.” Ms. Walker explained that the proceeds from the GLOW run and other wellness activities hosted by JMH are donated to the Wellness fund at the hospital which funds initiatives such as wellness fairs in the community, the free blood pressure station at the hospital, and walking trail upgrades throughout Wellsville. In 2023, $10,000 was even donated to area food banks in Allegany County during the holiday season.
Registration is just $35. Kids 12 and under are free to participate. Register by April 13th to receive a FREE GLOW 5K tee AND a finisher’s medal.
