Mayor Sue Finkam and the City of Carmel are kicking off National Physical Fitness and Sports Month with the “Get Moving in May” initiative.
This month-long series of events is part of the Move with the Mayor Spring Mental Health and Physical Activity Challenge, a national program organized by the National Forum for Heart Disease and Stroke Prevention.
The initiative aims to improve cardiovascular health and mental well-being by encouraging residents to get active while fostering social connections within the community.
“Physical health is about more than just exercise and nutrition; it is deeply rooted in our social connections and mental well-being,” Mayor Finkam said. “I invite everyone to join us this May to explore our city’s beautiful paths, parks and wellness spaces while strengthening the bonds that make Carmel such a vibrant place to live.”
