Platte River Fitness Series 
General Information
Our Vision:
“Building better communities through strong bodies and bold spirits.”
The Platte River Fitness Series (PRFS) is a unique model for community wellness. It is a fitness initiative representing a partnership between the North Platte Recreation Department and Great Plains Regional Medical Center, with the support of a variety of local businesses, civic organizations and communities. The PRFS is designed to support, motivate and educate citizens about the benefits of a healthy, active lifestyle by providing them with tangible, plentiful goals to make behavior changes last a lifetime. We embrace the model that in order to invite positive behavior change and healthier living, we must create a community of people motivated by the same goals, create events that are open and inclusive where every ability level has a place at the starting and finishing lines, and where individuals feel cared for and that their health and wellness are important to the entire community. The PRFS is a socially responsible initiative that encourages local participation, local sponsorship, use of local businesses, and produces proceeds that benefit local charities and organizations.
