Walk Your Way to Wellness with a 5K |

Walking is a great way to stay fit—not to mention lower your blood pressure, cholesterol and risk of diabetes. So grab your sneakers and a bottle of water, and join us for a 5K-walk (3.1 miles) on May 22.
We’ll meet in front of Fox Fitness Center (in Weiss Pavilion at Franklin Field) at 11:45 a.m. The course will continue to Penn Park where we’ll stroll across 24 acres of rolling hills and meadows, then make our way back to the starting point. All faculty and staff are welcome to participate, no matter what your fitness level. We’ll have volunteer walkers placed throughout the group to help keep a steady pace and make sure no one is left behind.
You’ll also have the chance to learn more about the Penn Walking Program and become a member. If you’re already a member, you’re encouraged to wear your “I’m a Penn Walker” t-shirt and bring your pedometer.
