N.C. Cooperative Extension wants people to move. It's good for your physical and mental health. McDowell Moves 2021 is a walking/hiking event on October 16, 2021, from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at a trail, greenway, or neighborhood street near you.
The event is hosted by McDowell Trails Association and Corpening Memorial YMCA, in association with AARP NC Mountain Region, the McDowell Senior Center, West Marion Community Forum, Marion East Community Forum, Old Fort Community Forum, Marion Business Association, and the McDowell Chamber of Commerce to promote active lifestyle and the many trails and outdoor amenities in McDowell.
Hike a trail, walk downtown, or just down the block, anywhere in McDowell is fair game. It's not a race, but it is FREE, FUN, and EASY. This special event is meant to celebrate and encourage our community coming together and being active.
Organizers encourage people to bring your family, friends, or just yourself for this community-building activity. There will be guided trail hikes in Old Fort and Lake James, or you can go your own way downtown, or in your neighborhood with the maps provided online at the McDowell Trails Association. Your walk, your way.
Visit the McDowell Trails Association McDowell Moves 2021 to register and the see walk schedules. Hope to see you out there, moving!!
