The City of London Corporation is launching a new free local walking scheme on at Kenley Common on Friday 7 October.
The Walking for Gold! scheme is part of the Corporation’s ‘Green to Gold’ initiative in support of the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
The initiative aims to encourage exercise and healthy living on open spaces maintained by the Corporation.
Barbara Newman, Chairman of the City of London Corporation’s committee responsible for City Commons said: “The Olympic Games is less than one year away, what better time to get fit and feel part of the Games.
“Walking for Gold is the perfect opportunity for people to combine exercise with appreciation of the wildlife and natural scenery around them.”
Rea Slack, City of London Walk Leader, said: “If you’ve never joined a walking group, it’s great fun and a perfect way of getting motivated, meeting new friends and exploring the area. We look forward to meeting new walkers of all ages and backgrounds.”
