Juneteenth Walk-a-Thon

Invitation to Participate in Our Community Walk-A-Thon – Celebrating Juneteenth on Saturday, June 14th

We are excited to extend this invitation to you to participate in MEDI's upcoming 2nd Annual Juneteenth Walk-A-Thon on Saturday, June 14, 2025 at 7 A.M. at Western Hills Golf Course located at 2160 Russellville Rd, Hopkinsville, KY. This healthy living event is free and all are invited to attend.

This community-centered event will bring together individuals, families, local organizations, and businesses to promote physical activity, preventive health care, and overall wellness. It precludes the Juneteenth Golf Scramble starting at 9 A.M. also at Western Hills Municipal Golf Course. If you have not been to a golf course or walked it, now is your chance!

In addition to our healthy living walk-a-thon, participants will have access to on-site wellness checks, including blood pressure screenings, glucose testing, BMI evaluations, and more — all aimed at encouraging healthier lifestyles in our community.

Why This Matters:

• Physical activity is vital for healthy aging. It can help reduce the chances of chronic disease and prevent early death
• Physical activity is known to boost minds, moods, and emotions, improve sleep, help cope with depression, stress, and anxiety
• Physical activity combats health conditions and diseases such as type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure
  
  Your presence and participation would not only support a cause but also provide a valuable opportunity to promote/advocate, connect with the community, and help advance a healthier Hopkinsville.
  
  We welcome sponsorships, health vendors, and promotional booths from organizations and small businesses like yours who are committed to community wellness.
