Ready to walk or perhaps run? We’re calling all Publix associates who want to have fun while getting or staying in shape. And, we’re making it easier — and more affordable — than ever to get active and involved.

Each year, Publix sponsors dozens of races across its operating areas, and as a Publix associate, you can receive discounts on some of these events. So, lace up your sneakers and jog over to www.publix.org > Health and Well-Being > Run/Walk Events Registration to check out the schedule of events. There, you can find information on the locations, dates and available associate discounts for Publix-sponsored walks and runs, as well as registration deadlines and links to event websites.

“You don’t have to be a pro to participate in activities that are good for you,” said Associate Wellness Manager Mendi McDowell. “Many of these events include shorter walks and runs that are great for those looking to be more active. I encourage our associates to check out the website, get some co-workers, friends or family members together and sign up.”

The more you move, the better you’ll feel, so don’t waste any time. Visit www.publix.org today to view upcoming events and register for any in which you’re interested.

These Publix associates each saved $45 by registering for the Georgia Half-Marathon online. Experience the race with them by watching this month’s Publix News Live!
