Description

There are many mental and physical benefits to staying active. Join us for a fun, inspiring series of three walks during which we practice assessing our level of exertion, engage in warm-up and cool-down stretches, develop safe and enjoyable walking practices, and learn about key wellness topics. These walks are focused on encouraging walking as a habit. Please wear comfortable walking shoes, bring water, and sun protection. The pace is moderately intensive, and the walk covers about 1.5 miles in about 40 minutes. Restroom available nearby starting at 10:00am. Limited enrollment.
