FRHD and Fallbrook Land Conservancy announce Wellness Walk

FALLBROOK – Fallbrook Regional Health District is again sponsoring a Wellness Walk. It is co-sponsored by the Fallbrook Land Conservancy, Thursday, April 26, at the Dinwiddie Preserve on South Stagecoach Lane, across from the Palomares House, 1815 S. Stagecoach Lane. Registration will begin 10:30 a.m., and the walk is scheduled for 11 a.m. Participants should wear comfortable clothing and good walking shoes.

Participants should park at the Dinwiddie Preserve parking lot and not at the Palomares House parking lot. The trail is well marked with no hills. Since the trail is dirt, it is not recommended for anyone needing to use a walker and likely not good for strollers either. At a leisurely pace, the walk takes approximately 20 minutes. FRHD will provide water and pedometers to participants. All participants are required to sign a waiver before the walk.

FRHD is sponsoring these walks once a month with a goal of seeing walking groups formed to meet more often, perhaps within specific neighborhoods or at one of the many hiking trails provided by the Fallbrook Land Conservancy. The district reminds residents that “exercise is medicine, food is medicine, helping us to prevent the preventable.”
