National Run@Work Day is an opportunity for local businesses, events and communities to promote improving the health status of working adults.
GOT 35 MINUTES?
- Run or walk off the accumulated stress from a busy week by showing up for a fun, community event near your workplace in Carmel, Monterey or Pacific Grove

- Volunteers will be on hand to walk or run with any individuals or groups that would like a guide.

The goal of the RRCA National Run@Work Day is to raise national awareness about the importance of daily physical activity. Incorporating thirty-five minutes of exercise can markedly improve one’s overall physical health and can help alleviate health related medical costs associated with overweight and obesity. |
