Event Information

Join us for the Chilly Chili Mile in which participants can choose to walk or run at top speed or at a comfortable pace. Our Annual one-loop course will start and finish at the Philip Heit Center for Healthy New Albany. This event is organized by Healthy New Albany, the same team that brings you the New Albany Walking Classic®. This event promises to warm you up. The faster you walk or run, the sooner you can enjoy a bowl of chili and cornbread.

This unique one-mile walk/run event for health and/or competition will benefit the many programs and services that Healthy New Albany provides to individuals and families throughout Central Ohio and beyond. Healthy New Albany is a non-profit charitable organization dedicated to keeping families and communities healthy and offers one of the most innovative and comprehensive health initiatives in the country.
