4th Challenge Event capitalizes on recent warm weather

Participants in the 4thChallenge Event of the 2009 Fitness Challenge gathered at CD-REC on Bank Street on a gorgeous sunny spring day with temperatures in the 60s for their walk to Bicentennial Park on March 7, 2009. Walkers spectacular views of Heritage Park, the Battleship USS Massachusetts, and the Taunton River from the mile-long boardwalk. Executive Director Grace Gerling, who ran the entire course, said "This was a terrific workout for those who have been getting in shape during the four-month Challenge and a perfect way to take advantage of the unusually warm spring day." The overall five-mile course included two one-mile round trips along the boardwalk to Bicentennial Park, as well as a long walk to the park from Bank Street. Go to www.gfrpartners.com/094thFitnessChallenge.html for more photos and text describing the event.
