Talbot Thrive is excited to partner with the Town of Easton Parks and Recreation Department and the YMCA of the Chesapeake to launch a new Running and Walking Club – a community-driven initiative designed to bring people together in a fun and supportive environment to improve their physical and mental health!

We’ll meet every Wednesday at 6 p.m. at Idlewild Park in Easton and walk or run the trail for about an hour to accommodate all fitness levels. Whether you’re looking to start your fitness journey, improve your endurance, or connect with like-minded individuals, this meetup will provide an inclusive space where everyone can THRIVE at their own pace.

Regular participation in walking or running has been shown to boost both physical and mental well-being. Walking improves cardiovascular health, increases mobility, and is a great way to relieve stress, while running enhances endurance, strengthens muscles, and elevates mood through the release of endorphins. By offering multiple levels, we ensure that anyone—whether they’re taking their first steps towards a healthier lifestyle or training for their next race—can find the right fit and stay motivated.

This initiative aligns perfectly with Talbot Thrive’s mission of fostering community well-being through active living. By creating a welcoming space where people of all ages and abilities can move together, we’re not just promoting fitness—we’re building connections, encouraging personal growth, and making healthy living accessible for all. We invite everyone to join us on this journey, set personal goals, and thrive together, one step at a time!
