Hearts for Hasberry returns

The people who train at Elite Fitness and Figure really love their coach, Greg Hasberry. When Hasberry was diagnosed with double acute renal failure in 2013 and told he needed a kidney transplant, his clients organized the first Hearts for Hasberry 5K to help him manage his medical expenses.

“He was our coach and we wanted to do something for him because he was having trouble paying his bills,” Eric Harris, the organizer of this year’s race, said. “We wanted to do something for him because he does a lot for us.”

This year, however, Hasberry wanted to share the love. The 2015 Hearts for Hasberry 5K and 10K will benefit the Alabama Kidney Foundation. Harris said the race will be held in Mt Laurel because the course will be flatter and more open. The 5K and 10K will start at 9 a.m. on Jan. 17 at Area 41 Pizza. There will also be games and activities at the race site. Entry fees are $25 for the 5K and $30 for the 10K.
