Miles For Impact: 5K Fun Run to Benefit the American Heart Association

You may have heard that Christine Pellegrino, Owner of Pellegrino Healing Center in Hyde Park, has been nominated as a Hudson Valley Woman of Impact for the American Heart Association. As part of her journey, she is committing to training for and running a 5K on Sunday 3/23, and inviting everyone to come along for the fun!. 

This campaign is part of the AHA's Go Red for Women movement, focused on raising awareness and funds to fight cardiovascular disease—the leading cause of death for women. As a Woman of Impact nominee, Christine is committed to educating her community about heart health, encouraging movement, and inspiring others to take steps toward healthier lives, including her own!

Join us at 8:30am on Sunday 3/23, at the Morgan Lake Trail Head (Creek Road, Poughkeepsie). We will join Christine as she tackles her first 5K. This will be a low key, untimed, fun run where we support Christine in achieving her goal of completing a 5K and supporting this vital cause. Whether you walk, jog, hop or run, ALL are welcome to participate.

The cost to join is $25. Don't miss out! The $25 registration fee includes a “Pellegrino Hearts in Action” shirt. Register now to guarantee yours, and be sure to wear it to the event! 100% of registration fees and donations will go directly to the American Heart Association on behalf of Christine's Woman of Impact campaign. 

The suggested 5K route can be found here. Please keep in mind that this is a self-guided run. While the route is very simple and instructions will be provided before the start, participants will be responsible for navigating themselves, including turning around at the halfway point.

This event is about more than completing a 5K—it’s about making an impact together. Join Christine in taking a step forward for your health and supporting a mission that empowers women everywhere to live longer healthier lives. Let’s make an impact together!
