Platte River Fitness Series

To bring individuals and causes together in a collaborative effort so that individuals can achieve whole human health in a flourishing community.

For well over two decades, the Platte River Fitness Series has been on a mission to establish and build a community dedicated to whole human health and to provide the framework for individuals and the community to flourish. The fitness events in the PRFS offer motivation and each is a unique "small step" people can take toward that life of flourishing. In turn, each event gives back to the greater community in some way. We believe that "the smallest of steps lead to the grandest of journeys." We encourage whole human health by fostering community, connection, and belonging. Challenge changes people and what we aspire to do is affect people's entire approach to life, helping them adopt a physically and mentally healthy way of living.

We have chosen events that are open and inclusive, where every ability level has a place at the start and finish lines. We make sure that every athlete knows that there is a caring community behind them and that every event is bringing them closer to living their full potential. The PRFS is a socially responsible initiative that encourages local racing, local sponsorship, use of local businesses and produces proceeds that benefit local charities

Testimonials

"I needed help to start a weight loss journey in hopes of lowering my blood sugar from border line diabetic to normal. I signed up in January and by December I had completed my first year with the series!! In December I found out that my sugars are in the normal ranges again. I also lost 40 lbs. I have enjoyed my journey, and have met the nicest people! The encouragement from my Son and the people have kept me crossing the finish everytime! Brandon also encouraged his sister, Kaitlyn to join. Always a proud mama moment to cross as a family. Even when I thought I couldn't they all gave me strength to take one more step, lap, mile!!"

"Just wanted to send a quick note to say thank you to you for the Platte River Fitness Series. In January I started trying to lose weight and get back in shape. I was going good, but then when the pandemic hit I stopped going to the gym and was worried about losing the progress I made.

I then got back into running outside and, because of the virtual fitness events, refound my love for distance running! The virtual events have given me accountability to push myself everyday. This morning I recorded my fastest 5k ever!

So thank you very much for adapting your events to the current situation. They are a huge blessing!" Justin Petska during 2020 virtual season
