SAIWAI EVENT TODAY
The Saipan Walking Association, Inc. and the Women’s Affairs Office will hold the Heart of the Marianas Fitness Fair Walk this morning, along the Saipan Beach Pathway.
The event starts with registration beginning 5:30am at the Minachom Atdao Pavilion. The walk starts 30 minutes later at 6am. SAIWAI and Women’s Affairs is offering two distances- a short course and a long one.
The short course is a 5-kilometer trek to the Japanese Tank and back to the starting point. The long one will have walkers hike all the way to Christo Rai Church in Garapan and back to the Minachom Atdao Pavilion, a distance of 10 kilometers.
After the walk, a health screening will be conducted by the Department of Public Health. Participants would also be treated to live entertainment such as a martial arts demonstration, and an exhibition of various physical exercises. Families also get to have fun, as SAIWAI and Women’s Affair will prepare parlor games.
Those interested in joining the Heart of the Marianas Fitness Fair Walk may contact Myrna Matagolai at 664-2294 for more information.
