Walk Tacoma Event this Wednesday

Join Downtown On the Go and Tacoma’s Deputy Mayor Victoria Woodards on Tacoma’s First Neighborhood Walk, Wednesday, June 4, 2014 from noon to 1 p.m.  The 1.8 mile walk, sponsored by Commencement Bank, will start and end at the Woolworth Windows at 11th & Broadway and head up the hill to the Hilltop Neighborhood.  Participants will see the Ford Building, a community garden and parks, beautiful murals, and Normanna Hall. There is no need to pre-register for the event, simply join Downtown On the Go at the meeting spot.

Walk Tacoma 2014, sponsored by Franciscan Health System, is an eight-event walking series held on first and third Wednesdays, from April through August. The fun, themed walks, now in their fifth year, encourage downtown employees and residents to exercise and enjoy the outdoors by discovering the different walking routes and parks in downtown Tacoma. The walks are scheduled at the lunch hour and just after work to encourage downtown employees to walk during their workday, whether it is to and from work or at a lunch break.

Win a Walk Tacoma t-shirt this year by attending 4 out of the first 7 walks, or help your business win the Walking Business Award and a basket full of commuter prizes by having employees at the most walks!  By attending the walk this Wednesday you will be able to enjoy the beautiful weather, learn about Tacoma's First Neighborhood, and win great prizes just for participating. Don't miss out!
