DC LINKS Bridge to Wellness: 2024 5K Walk for Healthy Living
Sat 28th September 2024 (1:00PM EDT)
Free
CLOSEDOn Saturday, September 28th, 17,000+ Links across the nation to WALK THE WALK for our collective wellness during the 29th Annual Walk for Healthy Living! For the past twenty-eight years, one of the primary goals of the Walk has been to encourage African Americans and other people of African ancestry to get moving because we know that physical activity helps control weight, reduce blood pressure, reduce the risk of diabetes, and improve mental well-being. The annual Walk allows us to reset our mark on reducing the incidence of chronic diseases that plague our communities. But we know that gathering to move together extends beyond the physical- socializing, fellowship and building community are key factors in maintaining health and well-being. Now, more than ever, community matters! We hope you will bring your friends, family and community members to join us on September 28th for this dynamic, informative and fun-filled day of community and connection. Register today and join us to reinvigorate or jump start your wellness journey.
