🌺 Lisa (Manhart) Althouse Memorial 5K COLOR RUN/WALK! 🌺
Join us on Saturday, May 24th, for a vibrant and unforgettable tribute to Lisa (Manhart) Althouse. We’re celebrating her incredible spirit with a 5K Color Run/Walk that’s all about energy, joy, and community.

Why We Run:
It’s been 10 years since we lost our beautiful Lisa. Her love for running, her bright personality, and her commitment to community continue to inspire us. This event is our way of honoring her memory, supporting her family, and giving back to the Castle Rock Wellness Center in Grainfield.

This Year’s Special Twist:
We’re going tropical with a Hawaiian-themed Color Run! Participants will be splashed with bright, non-toxic, washable color powder at checkpoints along the course. The First 50 Participants receive a festive Hawaiian Luau Hula Skirt to match the Cruise, Shoes & BBQs theme.

What You Need to Know:
✅ Wear old clothing and shoes — color is non-toxic but may stain certain fabrics.
✅ Pre-register: $20 Early Bird (until 05.17.25), $25 after.
✅ Check-in starts at 7:00 PM Saturday.
✅ Glow-in-the-Dark Dance: Stick around after the race for a dance party under the stars with DJ Doug Manhart.

Want to participate without the color? No problem! You’re welcome to join the run/walk and skip the color stations.

All proceeds benefit the Castle Rock Wellness Center, supporting health and wellness in our community.

Let’s honor Lisa, share the joy, and paint the night with color.

🌺 A hui hou, e ku’u Lisa — Until we see you again, dear Lisa.

We're having a raffle and would greatly appreciate your support! The drawing will be at half-time of the boys' basketball game between Quinter and Wheatland-Grinnell on February 11. You do not have to be present to win, but hopefully you will be there that night to eat a bowl of soup (a free-will donation for our cause) and support the basketball teams of Gove County.

The mission for Castle Rock Health and Fitness is to provide low-cost fitness centers for the citizens of Gove County. We have 3 locations: Quinter, Grainfield and Gove. One membership gives access to all locations! We aim to keep our memberships rates as low as possible. We have continued to have increasing numbers of people who regularly use the centers, but membership fees are not enough to pay for replacing equipment and building maintenance.

To get tickets, contact your local directors: Carmen Simon in Quinter, Kay Haffner in Grainfield or Kirsten Lundgren in Gove. Also board members: Dr. Doug Gruenbacher, Ivy Charles, Deidre Zimmerman, Amy (Holthus) Briggs, Andrew Tom, Diane Wetter, Tranda Watts and Jim Anstaett.
