April is here and the countdown to the 2021 Nature\u2019s Emporium Run for Southlake is on!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Due to present health restrictions, this will be the second year in a row where the popular fundraiser for Southlake Regional Health Centre has had to take place in the virtual realm, but this year\u2019s run will be just a little bit different from the first virtual event last year: The Run will be divided into four challenges designed to help you not only get moving but get \u2013 and stay \u2013 healthy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Running from April 12 through May 9, the four-week challenge is divided into four with the first week dedicated to \u201cEat Well with Southlake\u201d, followed by \u201cMake it a Habit\u201d, \u201cBuild Your Endurance\u201d, and \u201cGo the Distance.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eat Well with Southlake is focused on nutrition. Title sponsor Nature\u2019s Emporium will provide lessons about foods that fuel you as you set your own nutritional goals for the week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen we were looking at this year\u2019s event, a lot of what we were looking at has to do with how do we make a virtual event something different and completely accessible,\u201d says Melanie Osmond, Event Specialist for the Southlake Regional Health Centre Foundation. \u201cOne thing we were looking at with the run is typically\u2026something one has to train for and prep for, so how do we build that prep into what they are already doing?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe first week focuses on nutrition, which is really the backbone of a healthy lifestyle and any training that anyone does. They start with having a healthy meal and being energized. Our title sponsor, Nature\u2019s Emporium, is helping out that week with a cooking class that participants can sign up for, and people are setting goals as to how many healthy meals they want to accomplish that week, and healthy is whatever makes sense to them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Classes, she adds, will be recorded and made available to all registered participants should the timing of the live sessions not make sense for them. Nature\u2019s Emporium will also provide health and wellness tips that will be included in weekly emails to registrants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe understand nutrition is something that is very personal for everyone,\u201d she adds. \u201cWe didn\u2019t want to bring in someone to talk about how to get the right nutrients for running a marathon because that is not what everyone\u2019s goal is. We\u2019re mindful of the fact the nutrition aspect is very much a personal journey.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is still time to join the Nature\u2019s Emporium Run for Southlake Virtual Challenge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Registration will be accepted into the second week of the Challenge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By Tuesday, March 30, nearly $36,000 had been pledged towards the Run\u2019s $175,000 goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Run is flexible and you can do it your own way, so we\u2019re really encouraging people to still join us,\u201d says Aimee Houston, Director of Marketing and Communications for the Southlake Regional Health Centre Foundation. \u201cThere are still great opportunities for people to join us and support their local hospital. Now more than ever we need that support. The pandemic has impacted all of us in different ways and so many of us will probably, unfortunately, be able to access Southlake in some way, shape or form\u2026 maybe they haven\u2019t had before because of the pandemic. Our growing community has needs and it is a fun event.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
