Over
thirty Fall
River Fitness Challenge participants got themselves ready for the
upcoming Thomas J. Giunta
Memorial 5K Road Race by walking and running on a similar course on
February 18, 2012 during the fifth Fitness Challenge event. Fitness
trainer Amy Jones gave the group directions before Daryl Parrent led the
group on the 5K route. Participants
left from Community Development Recreation
(CD-REC) headquarters on Bank Street and then headed up High Street and
Highland Avenue past Charlton
Memorial Hospital, down New Boston Road to Oak Grove Avenue, and then
returning on Bedford Street back to CD-REC. Sponsored by the
Diabetes Association, Inc.
(DAI), Community Development Recreation
(CD-REC),
the
Fall River YMCA, General
Fitness and Healthy City Fall
River, and supported by Partners
for a Healthier Community, the Challenge offers low cost opportunities for those who
live, work or attend school in Greater Fall River to get fit, lose weight, have
fun and win prizes. Registration closed at the end of January with over
750 adults weighing-in at these locations and at their workplace in
