Urgent Care Specialists Talk about the Health Benefits of Running


There are a lot of reasons for you to take up running as a healthy habit if you haven’t already yet. If you need a reason to get started on it, why not sign up for the Huckleberry Color Fun Run & Walk, happening on August 7th?

Push yourself hard to reach the finish line because at noon, there will be the group color toss, which is sure to make this family-friendly event only all the more colorful!

Colors, Sweat, No Tears

A local North Side Spokane urgent care center points out that at the very least, you should start practicing for the event at least a month before the date, especially if you are running.
