About 300 people got up early on a Sunday morning to participate in the 2011 Weight Watchers Walk It Day to benefit Warrior Vacations.
The walk took place in Northeast Florida’s Fort Clinch State Park. Their natural canopy of trees was a perfect setting to get in a 5K before the day grew too warm on Amelia Island. Children volunteered to pass out cups of water while Pirates gave out beads to participants as they walked, ran, jogged and strolled past.
Volunteers from organizations such as Amelia Island Runners, Road Runners Club of America, Weight Watchers and the Fernandina Pirates Club pitched in and created a delightful morning.
The crowd was larger than anticipated. Walking is a great way for people of all ages to lose weight and tone muscle.
