YMCA Activate America Family Walk

September 22, 2007

We kicked off America On the Move Week, September 22 - 29, with a 1-Mile Family Walk at Harbor Park in Norfolk on Saturday, September 22 from 9 am - 1 pm. Members, community residents and staff joined us for:

  • Entertainment
  • Children’s Activity Area
  • Health Fair
  • Fitness Assessments

Children had fun learning how to stay active with activities they can do everyday.

Youth also learned about playing sports to stay physically fit.

Free Fitness Assessments helped identify strengths and weaknesses.

Many took advantage of the wealth of information available

Participants also learned about the mind-body connection.

Mark Kerr got the crowd excited with amazing feats of strength.

After a quick warm-up everyone hit the pavement and got walking.

Several families got active together on the walk.

People of all ages came together to get active and stay healthy.

The event ended with YMCA CEO Chuck Harris and Mark Kerr pulling the InnerActive bus together!
