Shorewood residents are invited to Walk with the Mayor and join the Step to It Challenge!
Join Shorewood Mayor Jennifer Labadie as she hosts a "Walk with the Mayor" stroll or roll around Freeman Park, located at 6000 Eureka Road in Shorewood, beginning at 5:30 p.m. on Monday May 15. Participants may chat with the mayor while enjoying the park.
Please meet by the park shelter (Eddy Station) near the softball fields and the large playground structure. The walk is free and there is no need to pre-register. A rain date is set for May 18th at 5:30 p.m.
This event will mark the mid-point of Hennepin County’s annual Step to it Challenge, a program that encourages people of all ages and abilities to become more active. Twenty-six cities, including Shorewood, have registered for the Step to it Challenge which takes place May 1-28th. The most active communities and individuals are recognized and awarded with prizes. Bragging rights and trophies will go to the top three communities in the following categories: most active community; most active residents; and most actively engaged community.
It is not too late to register for the Step to it Challenge. Virtually every action counts towards the Challenge – walking, biking, running, cleaning, gardening or even playing with your children. Registered participants can track their daily activity using a fitness tracker/watch, pedometer or conversion chart at www.steptoit.org.
We hope to see you in Freeman Park at 5:30 p.m. on Monday May 15th for Shorewood's first Walk with the Mayor event!
