The Center for Weight Management (CWM) at Gwinnett Medical invites you to participate in the Second Annual Stomping Out Obesity 5K Walk/Run to raise awareness of obesity. The 5K will be held Saturday, April 18, 2015 at Tribble Mill Park, 2125 Tribble Mill Parkway, Lawrenceville, GA 30045. More than 93 million Americans are affected by obesity and Georgia is ranked eighteenth in the country for obesity. The combined rate of obesity and overweight adults in Georgia is 65.3 percent of the population.
Last year, 200 people participated in the first Obesity Awareness Walk. This year, with your help, CWM wants to double that number of participants. Please help CWM spread the word. Beginners welcome!
Walkers and runners are encouraged to participate in costume, individually or rally your friends and come as a team theme! Awards will be given for best costume!
