For those who enjoy walking outdoors, the Hermiston Parks and Recreation Department has just the program for you.
Trail Trakkers, Hermiston’s summer walking program, gets under way on May 3 and runs through Aug. 31. There is a $10 registration fee which includes a Trail Trakkers T-shirt, water bottle, activity log and the chance to win prizes.
Participants can log the miles they walk online throughout the program – the more you walk, the more prizes you can win.
Additionally, the program includes a Walk & Talk option in which participants join fellow trakkers and share the latest nutrition, wellness and fitness tips provided by Good Shepherd Medical Center. The Walk & Talk program runs May 6 through Aug. 28 and takes place every Tuesday and Thursday at 5:15 p.m.
For more information on the group walks, call 541-667-3509 or e-mail healthinfo@gshealth.org.
