Designed to encourage individuals of all fitness levels to track their steps and increase movement, the Highway 61 Walking Challenge is a 15 week community event taking place in Cleveland from May 2 – August 2.
The challenge, a competition in which individuals and teams compete for getting the most steps in a given time period, is hosted through the Walker-Tracker app. The app will sync to fitness devices or phones to calculate and track daily steps throughout the challenge. The app is interactive and will track participants’ virtual movement through the Caribbean Islands.
The Challenge will kick off on May 2 with a kickoff event that will be held at the Chamber from 10 a.m. -1 p.m. Event sponsors and participating health and fitness partners will be present at the Chamber offering resources and support.
Registrations are open to everyone online at www.walkhwy61.com starting May 2 or people can register in person at the kickoff.
There is a $10 registration fee to participate and registration times are limited: Registration is only open from May 2 – May16. Once registered, participants’ steps will immediately begin counting toward the challenge, so it’s best to register early. The challenge is limited to 200 participants.
