This is the end of the fifth year of the “McKenzie Walks” program, and it continues to be successful in terms of the health benefits derived from regular walking. Forty-eight persons are registered walkers in addition to over 250 school walkers, group walkers, bikers, treadmill walkers and gym exercisers. The program finished 2018 by recording 65,670 miles as McKenzie walkers continue to set a good example for its neighbors in other cities within Carroll County.
Some individual performances include two walkers who actually walked 1295 miles, 1 over 1000 miles, 16 over 500 miles, 7 over 300 miles, and 15 over 100 miles.
There is no deadline for joining and “Mileage Recording Forms” are available at the drop-off box located in the lobby of city hall, if you choose to report your mileage in that manner. The main purpose is to get moving so we can get in shape. We have had several success stories reported by our walkers who are enjoying the benefits of a higher level of fitness.
