Getting fit and walking has its rewards. Just ask Pam Mogensen, winner of a host of goodies to keep her an active participant in Walk Richmond.
Those taking part in the city’s free, drop-in program are entered into a frequent walkers reward program. Walkers are rewarded with swimming, skating, community centre or pitch and putt passes for every five, 10 and 15 walks they accumulate. At the end of the year, everyone who has walked 15 or more times is entered into a draw for a prize basket of goodies to keep them active, such as, a pedometer, walking poles, yoga mat or a water bottle.
Mogensen, a newcomer to Richmond, is an avid participant in the walks, often bringing her two-year-old grandson along.
“I love Walk Richmond,” Morgenson said. “I was new to the area when I started to walk with the Walk Richmond group and it has never disappointed me.”
In addition to remaining active, Morgenson said she has learned a lot about Richmond from the outings.
More information about Walk Richmond can be found on the City of Richmond website (Richmond.ca).
