2010 Walk Across Maryland – An Entertaining Affair

What has 400 legs, 200 free tee shirts, cheerleaders, marching bands, belly dancers, country music, and amazing feats of endurance?  Is the circus coming to town?  No!  It's the 2010 Walk Across Maryland. 

The 2010 Walk Across Maryland will be held on Saturday, September 18, at 9 AM, in Hancock.  All are welcome to participate.  Participants are challenged to walk across the entire state of Maryland, along the length of Pennsylvania Avenue, from the MD-PA border to the C & O Canal (1.7 miles).  Local police will escort the walkers.

This year's event will feature more entertainment than ever before.  “People had so much fun last year with the entertainers, that we decided to bring even more this year,” commented one of the event organizers, Dr. Marilyn Nelson.  “It's great to make exercise fun, and this year's event may seem as much a parade as a hike.”

The Walk Across Maryland will also kick off registration for the 2010 Health Olympics The Health Olympics, the Tri-State area's popular annual community health program, will take place this year, October through November.  Sign-ups for the Health Olympics continue through Friday, October 8.  Participants can register at Hahn and Nelson Family Medicine in Hancock, and also in Berkeley Springs, at Rankin Fitness Center. (Note that you can also use this link to download the forms you need to get started!)
