Franklin Mayor Ken Moore is encouraging the community to focus on fitness March 27-31 and will proclaim it “Healthier Tennessee Week” in Franklin.

Franklin Mayor Ken Moore (center) accepts a plaque and certificate designating Franklin as one of three Middle Tennessee Healthier Tennessee pilot communities from Gov. Bill Haslam and state Rep. Charles Sargent in June 2016

To mark the occasion, Mayor Moore will lead a “Walk With the Mayor” on Wednesday, March 29, at 11:30 a.m. through downtown Franklin, ending at the I Love Juice Bar, 232 Fifth Ave. N., and Pedego Electric Bikes, right next door at 234 Fifth Ave. N.

Let us know you are coming by RSVPing at https://walkwithmayormarch29.eventbrite.com

The loop will be on sidewalks in downtown and be about one mile in length and should take 30-40 minutes since we will walk as a group.

In 2016, Franklin was named a Healthier Tennessee pilot community in conjunction with Franklin Tomorrow’s Get Fit Franklin project.
