Weimar Walkers Reach 10,000-Mile Milestone

An amazing 10,132.63 miles were walked in the Friends of the Weimar Public Library and Colorado County AgriLife Walk Across Texas program this year.

First place team, Miller Creek Milers logged 2,869.62 miles. Second place team, Fayette Savings Bank walked 2,841.68 miles, and third place team, Sole Sisters and Brothers, walked 2,322.99 miles.

Six teams competed in the eight-week long competition designed to help participants increase their physical activity and create healthy habits, including Weimar Walking Gurus, Seybro Door & Weatherstripping and Bloomers.

Friends of the Weimar Public Library continues to sponsor the program through the Colorado County AgriLife Extension office to encourage participants to increase their regular daily exercise and establish a healthier daily routine.

In addition to improving physical health, the Walk Across Texas program fosters community connections and encourages fun, competitive social interactions and community spirit. Friends of the Weimar Library encourages community members to consider joining the next Walk Across Texas program not only for the health and well being aspects of the program, but also for the fun, community spirited competition the program encourages.
