Walk during your lunch hour! Walking on Wednesdays (W.O.W.) , a great mid-day break walk, will get you back to work refreshed and ready to tackle the afternoon. Stop by the RPCI Farmer’s Market beginning June1 every Wednesday from 11 a.m. – 2 p.m. before or after each walk to get some fresh vegetables, fruits, jams, baked goods and more!

The walks start at the RPCI Kaminski Park every Wednesday on the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus and are approximately 1.5 miles. All walks begin at 12:10 p.m. and end at 12:40 p.m. Be sure to dress for the weather as walks take place whether it rains or shines, except if there is lightning.

For your comfort and safety, please remember:

Wear proper, comfortable footwear

Watch for eye-level bushes and trees

Watch for broken concrete, potholes and uneven surfaces

Obey all traffic signs and signals

Alert walk leaders and other walkers of unsafe conditions

Walk leaders have cell phones and should be notified of any incidents so they can summon help if necessary

Sun protection: sun block, (should be applied a half hour before exposure) sunglasses, wide-brimmed hat

Adequate hydration before, after and during the walk.

Have fun!
