Ride, Walk ‘n Eat with the AARP Breakfast Bunch

AARP is pleased to announce it is teaming up with Citizens for Modern Transit (CMT) to help further promote both transit and walking through CMT's Ten Toe Express Walk Program. AARP members and their guests will get to experience first-hand just how easy it is to integrate walking with public transit use to get around the St. Louis region, while also enjoying the many health and wellness benefits of doing so.

Those taking part in the Ten Toes spring session will also have the opportunity to take advantage of a newly created Saturday morning walking group, dubbed the AARP St. Louis Breakfast Bunch. This group will meet at the Shrewsbury MetroLink station on Saturday mornings beginning April 4th (through end of June) then take the train and walk to designated breakfast destinations around the region. The cost of breakfast will be the responsibility of each walker.

AARP volunteers will serve as leaders of the Breakfast Bunch and the group is open to anyone (not just AARP members) in the St. Louis region who have joined the Ten Toes Express program.  Registration for the spring session of the Ten Toe Express Walk program is $10 and can be completed online, at one of the upcoming registration events or by calling 314-231-7272.

“Offering programs that link healthy living with accessing the community through transit are great ways to introduce our members to the real possibilities available to the region,” said Sheila Holm, AARP in St. Louis associate state director for Community Outreach. “We are excited about teaming with Citizens for Modern Transit to make this activity available to not only our members, but to one and all in the St. Louis region.”
