Bon Secours St. Francis Health System and the Bon Secours Wellness Arena have announced October dates for their Well Walkers program.
While walking outside is a great way to stay active, lose weight, or maintain a healthy lifestyle, the weather can sometimes pose a challenge.

Here are the event dates for September:

- Thursday, October 5
- Tuesday, October 1
- Tuesday, October 17
- Thursday, October 19
- Tuesday, October 24
- Thursday, October 26

On the above listed dates, the arena concourse will be open from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. for anyone in the community who wants to have a temperature-controlled space to exercise. Each loop around the concourse is a quarter mile, making it easy to get your daily step goals accomplished. Well Walkers is a free event & you can just show up – no registration or prior notice is required.
*During the October 31 st event, the community is also invited to “Walk with a Doc.” From 9 a.m. to 11 a.m., Dr. Andrea Smith of Bon Secours St. Francis Primary Care Downtown will be on site to offer education about nutrition, preventative health, and chronic disease management. She’ll be available to walk a lap with anyone wanting to discuss the topic or ask any related questions.
Free parking for Well Walkers participants is provided in the VIP lot at the arena, located off Church Street.
