Employees Encouraged to Exercise at Work on Take a Hike Day
By Ashley DeVine, Staff Writer
Occupational Health Services and the Recreation and Welfare (R&W) Club Frederick teamed up for the first Take a Hike Day at NCI at Frederick on November 21.
Employees were encouraged to hike, walk, jog, or run the 1.3-mile course around Fort Detrick.
“For those employees who walk all the time, the event gave them a partner to walk with, and for those that do not walk all the time, it gave inspiration that 1.3 miles was not a formidable distance,” said Sarah Hooper, manager of Occupational Health Services.
