WATERVILLE — MaineGeneral Health’s Peter Alfond Prevention & Heathy Living Center has restarted its Colby College Walking Program at the Harold Alfond Athletics and Recreation Center, 4900 Mayflower Hill Drive.

The program was suspended for several years due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The program is for those age 55 and older. Community members may walk from 9-11 a.m. Monday through Thursday, Nov. 4 through April 10, 2025. The facility is closed during Colby College breaks: Nov. 25-28 and Dec. 23-Jan. 1, 2025.

Participants must register onsite with a volunteer on their first visit. No minors or pets are allowed. Soft-soled shoes are required, and no outside shoes may be worn on the track.

If Waterville schools are closed due to inclement weather, the walking program also will close. Students and faculty use the facility at the same time. Participants must park in the athletic parking lot next to the biomass plant and the Harold Alfond Athletics and Recreation Center and use the front entrance.

The center offers free and low-cost classes and programs about mind and body health, physical movement, chronic disease prevention and management and healthy cooking and eating.
