The 2026 theme for WLP is “FREEDOM to WALK”. As the United States looks forward to celebrating the 250th Anniversary of the Declaration of Independence on July 4th, WLP will join in the celebration.
As citizens we have many freedoms that we may often take for granted. ‘FREEDOM to WALK” may not be a freedom that comes to mind. It does however remind us that we have a country where there are many opportunities to walk and environments to walk in.
Whether in a neighborhood, a sandy beach or a local, state or national park, there exists space where we can tie our shoes and take a walk. We can walk in solitude for mental health, with friends to build community, to maintain health and improve fitness or just for the sheer enjoyment of nature.
The WLP “FREEDOM to WALK” community fitness challenge begins Sunday June 7 and all community members are invited to sign up to participate.
The challenge encourages participants to establish or renew a regular walking/exercise program to improve health and fitness. Participants can choose to walk/exercise 150 minutes or more a week or complete 150 miles of walking in the 10 week period and log their results.
To register for the challenge, stop in at Treats and Treasures on Washington Street or Anytime Fitness on 7th Street. Online registration also available at walkinglakepepin.com.
Details for the challenge can be found at the website; walkinglakepepin.com and on the Walking Lake Pepin Facebook page.
Participants and all community members are invited to weekly group walks in and around Lake City on Wednesdays at 6:30PM. The first WLP group walk will be at Hok-si-la Park on Wednesday June 10, meet up at 6:30 at the park office.
