There are many benefits to participating in free events that encourage physical activity. Some of the most significant benefits include:
-
Improving overall health: Regular physical activity can help lower the risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease, stroke, and diabetes, as well as improve mental health and overall well-being.
-
Increasing cardiovascular fitness: Engaging in regular physical activity can improve cardiovascular health, including increasing endurance and strengthening the heart and lungs.

Losing weight and maintaining a healthy weight: Physical activity burns calories, which can help with weight loss and weight management.
-
