October 20, 2013 Westchester Day of Wellness
The JCC of Mid-Westchester and Camp Zeke, the first Jewish camp to celebrate healthy living, will co-host a Day of Wellness in cooperation with the Westchester Road Runners Club and New Rochelle Parks and Recreation on Sunday, October 20th.
The day will begin with a 5K run and family walk at 9:00 a.m. (registration begins at 8:00 a.m.). After the run, the day will feature a full schedule of programs in fitness, sports, cooking, nutrition, and a wellness-oriented comedy show.
The Day of Wellness will be a star studded event – champion boxers Dmitriy Salita and Yuri Foreman will work out with participants, pro-basketball player Tamir Goodman (the "Jewish Jordan") will be on hand to shoot hoops with families in the JCC gym, and Kosher by Design author and renowned chef, Susie Fishbein, will host a cooking lesson. In addition, the hilarious Bible Players will provide comic entertainment in the JCC's Bendheim Performing Arts Center.
