Walking Challenge
Join us every summer as we walk towards 10K steps a day. The walking challenge lasts 6 weeks and includes a weekly walk together with information on health and wellness, prizes and a grand finale walk with bigger prizes for those who participated in the weekly challenges.
The challenge also aims to encourage families to walk together by offering incentives for children. Each week we hide painted prize rocks in local parks and walking trails that can be redeemed for smaller prizes perfect for kids.
We hope that you will accept our challenge and make fun memories while taking steps towards a healthy lifestyle every week this summer.
