Celebrate Juneteenth with a focus on fitness, fun, and community at our Juneteenth Walk-a-Thon: 18 Holes of Health!
Invitation to Participate in Our Community Walk-A-Thon – Celebrating Juneteenth on Saturday, June 14th
We are excited to extend this invitation to you to participate in MEDI’s upcoming 2nd Annual Juneteenth Walk-A-Thon on Friday, June 14, 2025 at 7 A.M. at Western Hills Golf Course located at 2160 Russellville Rd, Hopkinsville, KY. This healthy living event is free for and all are invited to attend. This community-centered event will bring together individuals, families, local organizations, and businesses to promote physical activity, preventive health care, and overall wellness. It precludes the Juneteenth Golf Scramble starting at 9 A.M. also at Western Hills Municipal Golf Course. If you have not been to a golf course or walked it, now is your chance! In addition to our healthy living walk-a-thon, participants will have access to on-site wellness checks, including blood pressure screenings, glucose testing, BMI evaluations, and more — all aimed at encouraging healthier lifestyles in our community. Why This Matters:
-Physical activity is vital for healthy aging. It can help reduce the chances of chronic disease and prevent early death
-Physical activity is known to boost minds, moods, and emotions, improve sleep, help cope with depression, stress, and anxiety
-Physical activity combats health conditions and diseases such as type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure Your presence and participation would not only support a cause but also provide a valuable opportunity to promote/advocate, connect with the community, and help advance a healthier Hopkinsville. We welcome sponsorships, health vendors, and promotional booths from organizations and small businesses like yours who are committed to community wellness. Register at juneteenthwalkathon.eventbrite.com or by contacting Sherria Hester, Event Coordinator at 702-625-2028, bookwithtse@gmail.com by Monday, June 9, 2025.
