Walk Laurel Day Set For Oct. 4

LAUREL, MD - From the City of Laurel: Mayor Craig A. Moe is encouraging you to lace up, Velcro or slip into your walking shoes and join him on October 4th from Noon – 1pm at Laurel Lakes for Walk Laurel Day!

This fun, community event is part of Walk Maryland Day, a celebration of our official state exercise, which, in case you didn’t know, is walking! The goal is to promote awareness about regular walking for physical activity and improved health.

Mayor Moe recognizes the benefits of walking and he invites you to join him and City staff for a walk around the Lake on October 4th!

More than 500 Marylanders participated in Walk Maryland Day in 2016. To get even bigger numbers
this year, local Leaders are encouraged to:

• Spread the word on social media, #WalkMD!
• Engage community leaders to boost event visibility and physical activity awareness.
• Support safe walking in Maryland through enhanced state agency coordination
• Promote school participation in Walk Maryland Day (International Walk to School Day). More than 100 schools participated in 2016.
• Promote worksite participation in Walk Maryland Day by directing Healthiest Maryland Businesses (HMB) and other Maryland worksites to walking resources.
• Host Walk Maryland Walks, hopefully in all 24 Maryland jurisdictions.

Remember to join us on October 4th at Laurel Lakes and let’s start a walking regimen together!
