In observation of National Employee Health & Fitness Day, Wicomico County Executive Rick Pollitt has announced that the Wicomico County Executive’s Fitness Council is proud to sponsor the 11th annual Walk @ Lunch on Wednesday, May 18th.
Sharon E. Cooper, Wicomico County Health Department Community Health Educator and the co-chairperson of the event, is encouraging everyone to, “Enjoy a short walk on our new route and then join us for a healthy lunch with dessert and giveaways.” The course will be open from 11:00 A.M. to 1:30 P.M. and participants can begin at any time during that period.
The event is free and open to the public but participants need to register online at http://www.wicomicohealth.org/ by May 16th. Walkers may register the day of the event but they will not be guaranteed a free lunch. The walk will take place on a “rain or shine” basis.
The event showcases the ease of including walking as part of one’s workday. Studies show that including at least 30 minutes of physical activity each day can improve or maintain a healthy lifestyle.
Mr. Pollitt pointed out that, “While the Executive’s Fitness Council is organizing this ‘fun, popular’ event, I want to acknowledge our many sponsors. They are: Avery Hall Insurance, CFS Retirement & Tax Solutions, Market Street Inn, First Shore Federal, Frito Lay, PNC Bank, Peninsula Insurance, PRMC, Pepsi Cola, Delmarva Ventures, City Florist, the Wicomico County Board of Education School Nutrition Services and the Wicomico County Health Department.”
Interested participants may call 410-546-5311 for more information.
