The Fitness Walk is one mile but can be doubled to two miles if you continue on in the Wheelchair Walk.

This year’s Miles for Matheny will feature a new Fitness Walk, a one-mile walk held just before the Lu Huggins Wheelchair Walk. You can walk at your own pace, or power walk, and when the first mile is finished, you have the option of going the extra mile by joining in with the Wheelchair Walk.

The 18th annual Miles for Matheny will be held on Sunday, May 31, at Liberty Park in downtown Peapack. In addition to the Fitness Walk and Wheelchair Walk, there are five Cycling routes and a Kids Fun Run, all preceded by The Friends of Matheny’s “Breakfast of Champions.” All funds raised at Miles for Matheny will benefit programs and services that enhance the lives of the children and adults at Matheny and serve people with disabilities in the community.
