But, they came together on June 25 at the Trail Jam to show the many ways that people can pursue becoming more fit.

Some joined exercise groups. Others took a stroll. Others hopped on bicycles, or walked their dogs.

The idea was to get moving and to join others in the quest.

Florida Hospital Zephyrhills joined with the Dade City Youth Council and Wicked Awesome Racing to put on Trail Jam, a celebration of health and fitness at the Hardy Trail in Dade City.

The event offered walking, running, bike riding, dog walking and a kids’ bicycle obstacle course. Other activities included yoga, Zumba, bicycle repair demonstrations and children’s activities.
