Register For BMC’s 'Go For The Gust' Race - T-Shirt Deadline Is May 6th

BURNETT COUNTY -- Burnett Medical Center is excited to sponsor the 2022 BMC’s Go for the Gust event (previously known as the Carlyle Sherstad 5K/10K Run/Walk) during Grantsburg’s “Big Gust Days”. This year’s event will take place on Saturday, June 4, 2022, on a course starting and finishing at Burnett Medical Center. This event will include a 5k, 10k, and half marathon run.

Burnett Medical Center organizes the race and donates all the race’s profits to a different local charitable organization each year. This year’s race recipient is the Burnett Medical Center Foundation. Chris Erickson, Burnett Medical Center Foundation President says, “Every dollar raised improves the medical center by continuing to purchase new and up-to-date life-saving equipment. None of us ever know when we or our family members will be the next ones needing these services. Your gifts may be just the support we need to save you or your loved ones in the future.”
