Walking for Wellness, the indoor walking program sponsored by Jacksonville Memorial Hospital, returns for another season of exercise and camaraderie beginning on Tuesday, Oct. 15.
The Walking for Wellness program at the JHS Bowl, 215 S. Church St., provides a safe place to walk when weather conditions make walking outside unpleasant or dangerous. The walking program will run until April 11, 2025.
Walkers can head to the JHS Bowl from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. each day Jacksonville School District 117 is in session. The program is closed during school holidays, including Thanksgiving and Christmas vacation, and any day school is not in session.
An average of 75 people walk at the JHS Bowl each day the program is open. Participation in Walking for Wellness is free. Registration is not required. Walkers will be asked to check in and out.
