Family participating in the 2009 Richmond Jingle Bell Run/Walk
It was a beautiful day on Saturday. It was the morning of the 2009 Richmond Jingle Bell Run/Walk.
Everyone was having a fun time. There was music. There was food. There was a crowd of people. Several of the participants dressed up in holiday-themed costumes, including many dogs.
One thing that I noticed at this charity event was that there were people of all ages participating. There were many runners and walkers over the age of 60. There were several youngsters making the trek with family members via stroller.
One exciting thing about charity walks is that almost anyone can participate. It is a low-impact sports event. Walkers aren’t racing against a clock. Participants can walk and talk with family and friends throughout the event.
Make sure your charity walks appeal to all ages.

Hey Roger, I didn’t know you are a big walker. I do quite a bit too. See tallbloke.net and click on image resource.
I love the photos. It appears your walking is a bit more extreme than mine.
Yeah, I’m an ‘off piste’ kinda guy.
