FREE 5K Race on Sep. 8 and Health Fair at Rice Eccles!

Want to run a FREE 5K race? Check out this great offering, called the Run in Rhythm 5K, which celebrates Atrial Fibrillation Awareness Month. Race held on September 8 from 8:30-9:30!

The race supports atrial fibrillation (Afib) research and registration is FREE. Hundreds will join the CARMA Center to run, walk, and cheer on participants as they race to raise awareness about Afib, a cardiac arrhythmia that affects more than four million Americans and causes 20 percent of all strokes. The FREE 5K begins at Rice Eccles Stadium and continues across the University of Utah campus. Visit www.runinrhythm.org to register for FREE!
Register for the 5K, kids fun run, or as an arrhythmia patient in the cheering section!
