It’s the season of family gathering and endless pumpkin pie, but it’s also the season for turkey trots! Getting outside for a charity walk or run this holiday season benefits a good cause, boosts your health, and helps you connect with your community, so why not sign up?
Charity walks have been around since the 1970s, and their benefits go far beyond helping the non-profit you chose to walk for. Charity walks are a great way to get to know a new city on foot and get to know the people who live there. Furthermore, getting outside to exercise yields endless physical and mental benefits.Â
Picking a charity near and dear to your heart will also give you the motivation to train for the event. You’re not just getting in shape for yourself, you’re doing it for something you care about! We urge you to recruit family members, neighbors, and friends to join you. They will make waking up early to exercise more enjoyable and it’s a great way to bond with your community members over something bigger.Â
