Health Day Friday 18 May
Active West Lancs will be looking to organise a Health Day in May 2019. Similar to last year, this will be run as part of a Lancashire wide health initiative.
Our 2018 event was a huge success, nearly doubling our target! Info from last years event is below:
Active West Lancs are joining forces with the County-wide Health initiative #yourmileyourway.
Can you help us to reach our target of walking 24,901 miles – the equivalent of the circumference of Earth?
Join in this Lancashire-wide campaign during Active West Lancs’ Health Day to see how many miles we can clock up together. Special ‘Mile a Day’ events are being held across the whole of Lancashire on Friday 18 May, aiming to get as many people as possible completing one mile. This will also include getting as many school children in Lancashire as possible completing a mile during their school day.
We will be encouraging as many people as possible to complete a mile – whether that’s walking, running, cycling, swimming, rowing, or any other way you can think of!
Remember, don’t let your hard work go unrecognised – remember to PLEDGE YOUR MILE at Your Mile Your Way (external link)
Active West Lancs activities on Friday 18 May
- Royal Mile – Come down and join us at Coronation Park, Ormskirk and do #yourmileyourway around our Royal mile path – walk, jog, hop, skip, cycle, cartwheel, scooter etc – however you want to get round – you decide! We will be starting the mile at 1pm and then join us for a well-earned tea/juice and cake after your mile!
- Line Dancing – We will be having an outdoor line dancing session by the Bandstand at Coronation Park, Ormskirk at 2pm. So come on over and join in the fun – no co-ordination needed! Don’t forget to ‘pledge your mile’ as we will easily Line Dance the equivalent of a mile!
