The community is invited to meet at the Town Square at 200 Broadway Street next to the King City Cinemas every Wednesday at 6:00 p.m. for a leisurely 30 minute walk through the community.

It is intended to be a social activity to have fun while also becoming more active. Participants can go at whatever speed they choose and have the option of shortening or lengthening their route based on what they feel comfortable with. Residents of all fitness levels are welcome and encouraged to participate.

Each week will also feature music, raffle prizes and other surprises. The kickoff on September 6th will include giveaway items and free Blue Zones Project approved food. The final week will feature a grand prize drawing for a $500 gift card.
