June 8th is the start date for the 18th season of Walking Lake Pepin (WLP). The goal for this Lake City summer community walking/fitness event is for participants to establish or renew a regular walking program or other exercise routine to improve their health and fitness.
All community members are invited to sign up online (walkinglakepepin.com), at Treats and Treasures on Washington Street or Anytime Fitness on 7th Street to make a commitment for regular physical activity over the 10-week event. Log sheets to record minutes and miles of walking are online and at the sign-up locations.
This year’s walking slogan is “Walk More, Stress Less” promoting the American Heart Associations “Healthy for Good” campaign. https://www.heart.org/en/healthy-living/fitness
Chronic stress whether at work or home can increase risk for raising blood pressure and can lead to anxiety, depression and heart disease. Walking and being physically active is one of the best ways to combat stress.
Starting Wednesday June 11, WLP participants will meet up for the first WLP group walk of the season at Hok-si-la Park. Anyone who wants to join can meet at the Park Office at 6:30 pm and walk the trail loops. Fun Fact, there is a new eagle’s nest on the south loop to check out.
After the walk, marshmallows will be roasted, and S’mores will be shared at one of the campsites.
