The City of Dothan is incredibly excited about the upcoming 2012 Mayor’s Ride for Fitness event to be held on May 12th at the Westgate Bike and Fitness Trails. According to the National Conference of State Legislators, 1 in 3 children in Alabama are overweight or obese. As the Mayor of Dothan, I have designed this annual event to target childhood obesity by promoting fitness and healthy eating as a fun activity for the entire family!

At the Mayor’s Ride for Fitness, participants will join me, Mayor Mike, on the 3.3 mile asphalt bike loop at Westgate Park for a morning of fitness fun! Following the ride, participants can visit the Fitness Fair to learn more about fitness and healthy eating from a variety of local vendors. There will also be a bicycle safety course presented by the Dothan Police Department. We are incredibly excited about our give-a-ways which feature a $1,000 Cannondale bicycle donated by the Dothan Cycle & Fitness store and a 6-month VIP Gym Membership courtesy of Max Fitness (valued at $208)!

The Mayor's Ride for Fitness is a fun-filled, free event for the entire family! So don't miss out on this wonderful opportunity to ride with me, ride for fitness, and ride for fun!
