The George Sheehan Classic may have left town, but Red Bank residents looking to ease into a trot, or even a run, after a sedentary winter will get their chance in the form of a new offering from the borough parks and rec department.

The Green’s first recorded “fitness crawl” was deemed a sweaty success Sunday as local residentss eager to try new forms of exercise packed five stops throughout a moveable workout cycle.
How awesome is this?” asked Jen Portman, who has run Synergy Hot Yoga in Fair Haven for the past five years. “Theres a hotbed of different things around here that arent well-known. Its the perfect way to discover what works for you, she said.
Some newcomers were shocked to discover the sweltering temperature in her studio, but luckily no one fainted.

Ah yes, the pub crawl: a moveable feast of overindulgence, debauchery and morning-after regret. Jessica Dalmedo of Freshicas Juice Bar in Fair Haven has turned the concept around, into something that is good for the body and soul.
Her fitness crawl, slated for this Sunday, enables participants to check out specialized gyms and workout facilities without entering into a contract or shelling out big bucks for a membership and to try them all a single sweep.
Okay, so there may be some morning-after regrets.
