The Middlesex County Office of Aging and Disabled Services welcomes seniors to a day dedicated to health, wellness, and community. The Senior Health and Fitness Walk combines gentle exercise, fall prevention education, and social connection in a supportive environment.
The walk takes place Wednesday, September 23, 2026 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Roosevelt Park, 151 Parsonage Road, Edison. The event is held during National Falls Prevention Awareness Week (September 21-25), a time dedicated to raising awareness about preventing falls—a significant health concern for older adults. The day's activities are designed around personal wellness and community support.
Participants will join a guided walk through Roosevelt Park at their own pace. Along with the walk, free health screenings and wellness information will be available to help residents take charge of their health. Entertainment and raffles provide fun throughout the event. All participants receive a complimentary boxed lunch and a commemorative T-shirt.
The Middlesex County Office of Aging and Disabled Services also encourages participants to bring non-perishable food donations. These donations support REPLENISH, Middlesex County's food-distribution organization, and local food pantries that serve individuals and families experiencing food insecurity across the county. It's an opportunity to celebrate wellness while giving back to the community.
