Get Fit Mobile! City to Host 3-Mile Fitness Walk

Jun 5th, 2007

The City of Mobile Parks and Recreation Walk will host a 3-mile Fitness Walk at Ladd-Peebles Stadium (1621 Virginia Street) on Saturday, June 9, 2007 starting at 8 a.m. The walk is free and open to everyone.

With more than a quarter of its residents listed as obese, Alabama has the one of the highest rates of adult obesity in the United States. That’s why the City of Mobile is tackling the issue head on. The fitness walk is intended to promote a culture of activity with our citizens. In addition to the walk, participants can learn about fitness, exercise, nutrition, and other ways to stay active and healthy.

The walk consists of two laps around Ladd-Peebles Stadium. Kids can enjoy other activities like space jumps and face painting. Refreshments will be served.
