BLOOMFIELD, IA -- Being healthy and in shape can be as simple as going for a quick run or walk.

That was the message at the Bloomfield Town Square where the 4th Annual Back To Basics Run/Walk took place.

Participants had the option of running or walking the mile course or the 5k course.

There was also a one mile youth run.

Not only does this event provide a good reason to get in shape, it also gives back to the town.

Money raised from the event goes to fund future Bloomfield City Parks Project.

Katie Fetcho, who co-hosted the event, told me the event has grown over the course of the four years.

This year's Back To Basics welcomed more than 200 participants.
