Healthy Savannah celebrates 5 years of active walks

SAVANNAH, Ga. (WSAV) — Healthy Savannah has been helping our community stay active for years, and today they’re celebrating a milestone.

It’s all about encouraging folks to move more and live healthier lives, one step at a time. Today is the perfect reminder of how something as simple as walking every day can make a huge difference in your health. On Tuesday at the Scarborough Sports Complex, Healthy Savannah is kicking off its fifth anniversary of Healthy Walks… just minutes after the sunrise today.

“Healthy walks started from us just trying to find a way out of the pandemic to, you know, stay together and still be able to socially distance. And, you know, five years later, it’s really blossomed into something really cool for the community,” said Armand Turner, the Executive Director of Healthy Savannah.
