Early registration opens Feb. 8 for the 2017 Bass Pro Shops Fitness Series, the eleventh annual lineup of races and runs celebrating health and wellness, outdoor adventures and wildlife conservation in the beauty of the Ozarks. Participants can register online starting at 12 p.m. CST for all Fitness Series events, which range from kid-friendly distances to 100-mile bike rides located in and around Springfield and the Ozarks region. Last year, more than 1,000 community members volunteered and more than 7,500 people participated in the events.

“Bass Pro Shops is proud to once again sponsor the Bass Pro Shops Fitness Series as part of our mission to inspire everyone to enjoy, love and conserve the great outdoors,” said Martin MacDonald, an avid runner and Bass Pro Shops director of conservation. “This year we are hosting a variety of events and activities designed for people of all ages, backgrounds, fitness levels and areas of interest.”
