A large slide at Marr Park will be featured as part of a 5k obstacle course this Saturday at Movement Mayhem. The goal of the annual 5k obstacle course or one-mile walk is to promote physical activity as October is Physical Therapy Month. Movement Mayhem is organized by JET Physical Therapy and Eric Turner says the event is good exercise and it’s good to vary your workouts for both body and mind, “There’s a lot of benefit for our nervous system and coordination with a lot of variety, and just keeps them anticipating on what we may present for them as well.”

The order of obstacles varies from year to year and includes climbing hay bales, army crawling under snow fence, and using some of the park’s playground equipment. Proceeds from the event go toward the Washington Wellness Park.

It starts at 9 a.m. Participants can either do the 5k obstacle course or a one-mile walk. For registration information click here.
