Nearly 250 people participated in Jog for Joints on Saturday, May 2, 2009.

Both runners and walkers participated in the 5K run/walk that began at St. Mary and continued through the adjacent Core Creek Park.

This professionally timed 5K helped to raise awareness of the comprehensive orthopedic services provided at St. Mary.

Current and former St. Mary joint-replacement patients also participated in an orthopedic patient reunion walk.

This walk of up to one mile acknowledged the accomplishments of joint-replacement patients.

Participants triumphed as they crossed the finish line.
