New Year’s Day is a great time for everyone, especially runners and walkers, to set a Personal Record (PR) for health and physical activity.
This year that PR can also be a Peace Resolution, during which you walk a mile with like-minded folks to advance understanding, good will, and peace.
Please join fellow Rotarians, family, friends, and dogs for a 1 Mile walk for peace and friendship on January 1.
Meet under the Peacebuilder Sign at the corner of Forster and 3rd Street in downtown Harrisburg at 12 noon.
There should be plenty of parking around the Capitol. Bulk up during the pre-Walk with coffee and doughnuts. Bring along any leftovers from the night before. Leftover leftovers will go to the local foodbank.
At 12:30, participate in a 1 Mile walk around the Capitol. The entire course is flat, on sidewalks, with no streets to cross: up Forster, right on Commonwealth, right on Walnut, and right on 3rd back to the Peacebuilder Sign.
Those not wishing to walk, should come and watch, while partaking of their favorite beverage from the night before. Those wishing to run the course, can do so at 12:45 with prizes for the top finishers.
At 1:00 pm there will be a group photo taken under the Peacebuilder Sign!
There is no cost, but donations to the District Peacebuilder Initiative will be gladly accepted in the urn under the sign.
