Goal

Our ultimate goal is to get our community moving towards a healthier YOU in 2025.  We have created three different challenges for the month of January  to meet a wide variety of fitness levels.   Participants can do 1 mile a day to achieve the 30 mile challenge or do multiple miles a day to achieve higher mileage or to work with your schedule through the coming days until we reach our deadline of February 7th.

1 mile daily = 30 miles

2 miles a day = 60 miles

3 miles a day = 90 miles

or do multiple miles a day and take a rest day when needed.

*We do plan on having monthly challenges throughout the year.  Our next one will be announced February 1st.
