Healthy Kingsport’s 2017 Walk for Wellness Expo will take place on Saturday, November 4 from 10:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. on Wellmont's Campus (430 W. Ravine Rd. Kingsport), which is directly connected to Kingsport’s Greenbelt. This free event is designed to build community and increase interest in physical fitness by virtue of two group walks: .50 mile walk designed for beginners and 1.6 mile designed for those with higher fitness levels; as well as an expo featuring vetted, health and wellness-oriented vendors all with information and giveaways for attendees. This family-oriented event will feature a festive atmosphere complete with music and mascots, a kid’s corner, a photo booth, and more!
This year’s event will be particularly noteworthy because Healthy Kingsport will announce the community’s achievement of becoming the Million Mile City. Kingsport will become only the second community in the United States and the first in Tennessee to collectively move one million miles. Individuals and teams of community members contributing to the Million Mile City challenge (via virtual, micro-fitness challenges issued by Healthy Kingsport as well as bulk data collected from organizational health and wellness programs) will be recognized at the event.
Make sure you don't miss out on this fun, health-oriented event!
