WALK, RUN OR RIDE: LET’S GET FIT IN NMB KICKS OFF FEBRUARY 6
NORTH MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (February 2, 2012) – Join Councilwoman Marlen Martell on Monday, February 6, 2012 at 7 p.m. for the kickoff of “Let’s Get Fit in NMB,” a twice-a-week walk/run/ride event being held on Monday and Thursday nights through April 31. Participants will meet at the corner of NE 16th Avenue and NE 164th Street for a 1.6 mile walk, run or bicycle through the heart of NMB.
“I hope you can join me on Monday and Thursday evenings for a fun event that is family- and dog-friendly,” said Martell. “We’ll be getting to know our neighborhoods as we stroll along Hanford Boulevard and the scenic Snake Creek Canal, and best of all, we’ll be getting exercise as an added benefit!”
The route begins and ends in the same location. Parking is available at the NMB Public Library, 1601 NE 164th Street. The event is free and is open to walkers, runners and bikers. Well-behaved dogs on leashes are welcome.
