START Walking runs through March

A kickoff for the START Walking Challenge at the end of February brought together DBCC students and staff , as well as those from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University and Bethune-Cookman University.
The idea was to focus attention on physical fitness, as participants walked from ERAU to Bethune-Cookman, then retraced their footsteps back. The event began at noon so that people could walk during their lunch breaks.
Step Up Florida is a statewide campaign to promote the increase of physical activity. Volusia County Health Department is promoting activities in the K-12 schools, senior centers and elsewhere throughout the week of Feb. 19.
Those who could not make the Feb. 20 walk, were encouraged to join the START Walking Campaign by participating in the American Heart Association START Walking Challenge. A map with walking trails and challenges on the Daytona Campus and a free T-shirt was given to the first 75 employees who registered at the Fitness Center.
