Hermiston’s summer walking program is proving to be a hit.

Hermiston Parks and Recreation Director Larry Fetter said 250 people so far have signed up for the Trail Trakkers program, a joint venture between the parks department and Good Shepherd Medical Center. Trail Trakker participants meet each Tuesday and Thursday at 5:15 p.m. at the entrance to Riverfront Park.

Good Shepherd health experts share fitness and nutrition tips during the twice-weekly walking sessions. Participants are encouraged to keep a log of the miles they walk during the summer for a chance to win prizes. The program costs $10 to join and runs through August.
