The owners of Fleet Feet Sports, Gaithersburg announces that they have partnered with the largest grassroots running organization in the country, the Road Runners Club of America, to promote the 5th Annual National Run @ Work Day on September 17, 2010. Through this partnership the organizations are working together to promote physical activity and healthy living within the community and around the country. Fleet Feet Sports, Gaithersburg will host a special lunchtime Fun Run and Walk to support RRCA National Run @ Work Day on Friday, September 17 at 12:00 PM at their store located at 255 Kentlands Boulevard in Gaithersburg.
The goal of Run @ Work Day is to raise awareness about the importance of daily physical activity for adults. Now it its 5th year, National Run @ Work Day and its corresponding events are community based events that promote and provide the opportunity for individuals to incorporate at least 30 minutes of exercise into their daily routine. The exercise can be done either before work, during lunch, or immediately following work. Incorporating exercise into one's daily routine can markedly improve one's overall physical health.
"We are excited to be hosting our second Run @ Work Day event. We know how hard it is to incorporate daily exercise into one's routine. This way people can join us and see that it isn't so hard," says owner Robyn Gault. "It's so important to one's overall health to be active. We feel privileged to help others live healthier lifestyles."
The Fun Run and Walk will begin at 12:00 PM and will feature a 3-mile run through the neighborhoods of the Kentlands. After the run, participants will enjoy light refreshments.
