The Milton Milers was established in 2009 by Miltonians Tina D'Aversa and Tim & Ginger Enloe. Tina has been an active jogger and walker for many years. While in shape in their past lives, Tim & Ginger knew they had to get back on the wagon. Thus, the "Milton Milers" came to be.
Among the benefits of the Milers are weight loss, endurance, and friendly companionship.
To Promote Health and Wellness
The Milton Milers was founded on the idea that health and wellness can be achieved through a planned walking program. The health benefits of walking are well-documented. As the number of individuals who run competitively has peaked, the number of walkers has steadily risen. A major reason for this increase is the awareness that walking is easier on the skeletal joints than is running. The cardiovascular benefits of walking can equal those of running. And the mental and emotional benefits of walking such as the reduction of stress and the positive feelings are a bonus.
To Encourage a Supportive Environment
With an increasing number of people participating in everything from recreational walking to competitive walking events, there needs to be a common ground for sharing ideas about workouts, equipment, training, and much more. Running clubs have been around for many years. Now walkers have the same opportunity to get together and share ideas with other walkers. The Milton Milers was founded to bring walkers together.
Through the activities of the Milton Milers Club, the many aspects of walking-related issues can be addressed in an organized fashion resulting in a supporting and nurturing environment for the Milton, Georgia walking community.
