Called the “Run With the Cops, Not From Them” 5K, the event raised money for seriously ill children in the area. Events like this are just one of countless examples of how running can bring together people of all backgrounds, races, genders, nationalities, and ages.

More than 57 million Americans run or jog at least once a year. That’s nearly a sixth of the population. Nearly 740 marathons were held last year that saw over 500,000 participants. More than 2,000 half-marathons and 15,000 5K races are held every year as well. Needless to say, Americans can’t stay still for long.

No Comments on Finding a Suitable Summer Camp for Your Child

While it is important for children to grow academically, it is also important to keep them engaged in regular physical activity. Research shows that only 33 percent of children in the United States participate in regular physical exercise. Adolescence is a time where many lifelong habits form, and a youth who does not participate in exercise may lead an unhealthy life in the future.

You know what it is! It’s time to get in gear for outdoor-entertaining. That means lots of good people, good food, good drink, and good times by the pool. Oh yeah, about that.

While most people prepare for summer by losing weight or detoxing in order to look lean and mean in their swim wear, if you’re a pool owner, now is the time to begin prepping your pool for warmer weather. In fact, properly maintaining a pool is a year round job.

Transportation on vacation can become expensive, with all the taxis and buses needed to get from point A to point B. Relying on public transportation in an unfamiliar city can be inconvenient for people who have trouble remembering schedules, as well.
