Community Walking at Choate Rosemary Hall

As we enter the winter weather season, and outdoor recreation could be challenging, Choate Rosemary Hall and the Wallingford Family YMCA are teaming up to promote healthy lifestyles by offering FREE use of the Choate Rosemary Hall indoor walking track located at the Worthington Johnson Athletic Center, to the Wallingford Community.

Beginning on November 30, the indoor track will be open to the public to allow Wallingford residents the opportunity to exercise during the winter months. Also know that the Choate Rosemary Hall outdoor track is available year round without the need for a registration.

Choate spokesperson Alison Cady notes, “By once again offering our indoor track to the community, we hope Wallingford residents will come inside, out of the winter weather and continue to exercise. This is a great way for community to keep up with their New Year’s Resolutions and commitment to a healthier lifestyle.”
