Ilmatsalu Youth Center and Ilmatsalu Hobby Center have once again joined forces. Specifically, on Tuesday evening, September 8, those interested in physical activity are invited to Ilmatsalu for a health run or a walk, depending on their ability and desire. We started planning the health day at the beginning of the year, but due to the general caution in the world, we are also being careful and organizing the health day a bit more modestly. We made a small change to the route. While we originally planned a run around the lake, the route now follows the light traffic road to the school and back to the youth and hobby center. Registration begins at 5:30 PM, start at 6:00 PM. Afterwards, the health enthusiasts will move along the light traffic road to the school and then back from the library. At the checkpoint, located by the library, participants will receive a raffle ticket, which…
