The University of Arkansas at Monticello will begin a program
to promote better health in the community through
walking and running beginning Sept. 26 at 5 p.m.
at the track at Convoy Leslie-Cotton Boll Stadium.
Persons interested in participating in the program will undergo
health risk assessments at the first session and be
given prescribed exercise plans to meet their
individual needs. Participants will meet at the
track each Monday, Tuesday and Thursday at 5 p.m.
throughout the fall semester. UAM exercise science
students Ashley Burkett, Adam Stapleton, Damian
Roberts, Robert Putnam, Stacy Dabney and Lydia
Perritt will work and train with each participant.
The program came from an idea to train clients and staff of the
Drew County Developmental Disabilities Council to
participate in the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure, to be held in Little Rock Oct. 22.
“Originally, we wanted to help the DCDDC to get ready for the Race
for the Cure but decided to create a program for the
whole community,” said Memory Frazer, instructor of
Physical Education and director of the
program. “This is a program for anyone interested in
adding physical activity to their lifestyle.”
