The Wagner Area Health & Wellness Consortium held its Best Dam VIRTUAL 5K during the week of June 6-12. Racers had the option of using the Ft. Randall Dam route or choosing a 5K route of their own and completing it any time during that week. The participants then submitted their time online.

The top 3 female finishers were: 1. Addison Ward- 26:38, 2. Kristi Koupal- 29:27, and 3. Annessa Bruguier- 30:36. The top 3 male finishers were: 1. Richard Langdeaux- 15:50, 2. Marshall Kniffen 30:25, and 3. Mark Gallagher 30:47. There were around 55 total participants.

The consortium offered this free event as a great way to get outdoors, get some exercise, and have fun! The mission of the consortium is to combine resources of each entity to maximize the health and wellness opportunities for Wagner and the surrounding communities. The consortium emphasizes family centered education and activities to promote improved health and wellness now and in the future. Future events or opportunities will be posted on the consortium’s website and Facebook page.

The Wagner IHS Diabetes Program sponsored free t-shirts for local participants, and non-local participants also had the option to purchase a shirt to be shipped directly to them. The local shirts are now ready for pick-up at Apparel Worx.
