Looking to add a little pizzazz and excitement to your fitness routine? A great way to change things up is participating in a local organized walk or run. Most events start at 3.1 miles (also known as a 5K), but distances can vary. There may be a fee for joining, but typically you get a T-shirt and refreshments. Check out these websites:

• Cool Running — Find events from ultra marathons to youth races along with training advice and workout tips

• Runner’s World — Use the race finder to locate upcoming walks and runs

• Run Race Results — Get race details for just about anywhere in the US.

Whether or not you’re competitive doesn’t really matter; you’re winning already by meeting your goals.
