St. Alexius employees hit the treadmill today in support of Go Red Day. More than 75 employees ran or walked 20 minutes to raise awareness for women`s heart disease. This is the first year St. Alexius held the treadmill challenge, and they say signups went fast.

"We had to add another treadmill on. We had such a popular return of emails that they wanted more treadmills and stuff so we were able to add a second one and all that. So it`s been a very good turnout," said exercise physiologist Dave Ukestad.

St. Alexius is one of five health care facilities in the state participating in the challenge.
