A fun 5k is scheduled for Saturday, October 11, at 12 p.m. beginning at the Young Amphitheater.
“Step-Up Saturdays,” is a program created by La Porte Mayor Blair Milo as an initiative to create and host 5K walks/runs in all 92 counties in Indiana.
Mayor Milo has been hosting “Fitness Friday” in La Porte since 2012 as an opportunity for residents to participate in a weekly 5K walk/run. “Step-Up Saturdays” expands on that program to include all areas of the state and encourages healthy lifestyle choices.
“This is a great initiative Mayor Milo has started to help bring awareness around the state of healthy activities,” said Plymouth Mayor Mark Senter.
Children and adults of every fitness level are encouraged to participate in this Saturday’s “Step-Up Saturday” event at the Young Amphitheater. Participants should meet prior to the 12:00 p.m. start time. There will be no timers during the 5K as it is meant to be a social opportunity that incorporates physical activity.
For more information, please contact the mayor’s office at 936-6717.
