Mystery run promotes healthy lifestyle

Runners line up at the starting line at Fort Huachuca’s Barnes Field House and await the sound of the horn that will begin the run. The Strong BANDS Mystery Run, held in celebration of May as National Fitness and Sports Month, was a 10k event where the runners were not told where the course was in advance. As they ran, Arrows directed the runners where to turn. The goal of Strong BANDS, which stands for balanced lifestyle, actively motivated, nutritional health, determined to excel and strength and conditioning, is to promote and highlight opportunities for Soldiers and families to stay fit.

The first runner approaches the finish line during Saturday’s Strong BANDS Mystery Run. Brendan Wentz was the overall winner and finished with a time of 40:58.3. Seventy-three people participated in the run.
