Yesterday, Mayor Karl Dean launched the new Walk 100 Miles with Nashville walking movement, a follow-up to the highly successful Walk 100 Miles with the Mayor initiative. He is encouraging all Nashvillians to create or join a walking group and then motivate each other to walk 100 miles during the summer of 2014.
Mayor Dean’s first community walk will be held on Saturday, May 31, at 9 a.m. at the Harpeth River Greenway in Bellevue. The five-mile walk will also include a 2.5-mile option.
To participate in the walk challenge, people need to create a personal profile on the website www.walk100miles.com. They can start logging their miles on the site today, and everyone who reaches 100 miles this summer receives a free tee shirt. Join today!
Nashville Mayor Karl Dean has made healthy living a focus for Nashville through a citywide campaign called NashVitality, which encourages healthy, active and green communities throughout the city.
