Start the New Year off right!


One of the great traditions in the greater Kalamazoo area is the John Daley One-Run Run, hosted and organized by Gazelle Sports, benefitting the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Kalamazoo. It's a day to dress up and have fun while modeling good health and our compassionate support of young people. Here, Gazelle's Chris Crowell (left) and Bob Ezelle -- Chief Professional Officer for the Boys & Girls Clubs -- meet to greet the 1,000 or so New Year's Day celebrants at Spring Valley Park.

Next up for Chris is Borgess Run Camp (you can sign up at http://www.borgessrun.com), which begins at the end of January and continues through the Borgess Run for the Health of It! The 13-week camp includes coaches from K-Valley Orthopedics, the Borgess Health & Fitness Center and Gazelle Sports, along with team leaders who help new and experienced runners achieve their goals.

A no-obligation "orientation" for Run Camp is scheduled for Wednesday, January 14, at 6 p.m. at the Lawrence Education Center on the campus of Borgess Medical Center. For more information, call the Special Events Line, (269) 345-1913.

Ezelle, in addition to being one of the most respected youth organizers in the region, models good health behavior on a daily basis, lifting and getting in his aerobic exercise.

Thanks Chris and Bob!
