Newcomer Jackie Jackson, 60, also found out about the group on Facebook and started walking with them about two days a week. She retired last December.

“I was looking for different things, because when you hit that retirement age, you start feeling like, ‘Oh my God, what am I going to do? I worked all my life, what am I going to do?’ It’s scary,” she said, laughing.

This year was her first time participating in the Senior Strut event.

“Most of the times, it’s relaxed, it’s beautiful, like this morning,” Jackson said.
