Want to get outside this summer and enjoy a few organized two-mile trail walks in Kent?

Then check out the Kent4health free public walks on Wednesdays from June 6 to Sept. 12.

The first walk is Wednesday, June 6 and starts at the ShoWare Center. Walk times start at 9 a.m. and 6 p.m.

The sign-in table will be in the West parking lot of the ShoWare Center. From there you head out to the Interurban Trail to walk north. The trail will be marked up to one mile so you know when to turn around.

Led by a group of energized residents and businesses, Kent4Health is designed to encourage people to participate in fun, healthy activities and share opportunities for personal wellness in the community. The group also organizes indoor walks November through May at the ShoWare Center.

All of the walks are on two-mile or longer marked trails for self-guided walks; include a volunteer guide on the trail; are on paved or compact gravel trails; are close to bus routes; and include restrooms.

Before joining a walk, check in at the Kent4Health table, get your sticker, walk and check out before you leave.

The trail walks are led by Chris Ensor. He is a Mountaineers Hike Leader and Kent4Health volunteer. To ask Chris questions about any of the walks, call 206-794-5198 or email ctrails@comcast.net.
