I am so excited to announce that our very own Obesity Prevention Foundation will sponsor and support the Kid’s Run, a proud feature of the Reno Rock-n-River Marathon. I have been talking up this event for months, actually ever since last year’s event at which I and over thirty of our colleagues from iMetabolic and Western Bariatric Institute and the Obesity Prevention Foundation ran, walked or otherwise completed the 10K portion of the race. We even had some amazing racers who had just completed their own weight loss surgery in the weeks prior and proudly completed the race. This coming May we hope to seal the team of as many as 100 racers and raise awareness for childhood obesity prevention efforts in our community. Join us for this year’s event!
