JOIN “A RIVER RUNS THROUGH IT”: CHARLESTON, WEST VIRGINIA ON MAY 11.
Good Morning America is featuring walking events during May that will be highlighted on their Facebook group, Walk With GMA. Several of us in the EverWalk Nation will be having a walking event during May to celebrate and promote the benefits of walking.
The WV Walkers event, led by EverWalk Ambassador Patti Hamilton, will be on May 11th at 6:00 p.m. and we will meet at the “Lincoln Walks at Midnight” statue in front of the State Capitol Building. Our theme is “A River Runs Through It” and we will walk by the Kanawha River. This theme also promotes our country’s newest and nearby New River Gorge National Park in Fayette County.
West Virginia is home to the country’s newest National Park, the New River Gorge National Park, and, like our Capital City of Charleston, a river runs through it! Our WV Walkers group is in Charleston, WV, about an hour from the NRG National Park. The Kanawha River runs through Charleston by the beautiful State Capitol Building which is where we will meet and walk by the river. “A River Runs Through It” highlights our nearby National Park as well as our Capital City.
THE DATE: Thursday, May 11
MEETING TIME: 6:00 p.m.
WHERE:
The Lincoln Walks at Midnight Statue
