Last month Active SWV began a series of group walking event in the City of Beckley called “Walk with the Mayor”. Active SWV is leading group walking events with Mayor Rappold in each on the 5 city wards. The first walk in the series was on the beautiful McManus Trail running through the heart of the city. Mayor Rappold helped to welcome participants and encouraged using the trail for positive events such as group walking or biking.
We look forward to continuing this series of walking events throughout the City of Beckley. The next event will be June 14th at 5:30pm in Ward 1 on Flag Day so be sure to wear your red, white, and blue. Mayor Rappold, Councilman Tom Sopher, and Active SWV Community Captains and staff will meet participants at Cresent Elementary School on June 14th at 5:30pm to walk a neighborhood in Ward 1.
