From the Organizer
The Wellness Council of Boyertown would like you to join us for the 3rd Annual 1-Mile Fitness Challenge August 22nd at 9am. Each lap (400m) is a different fitness movement, starting with a Bear Crawl, then Burpee Broad Jumps, then Walking Lunges, and finishing with Running. This challenge can be completed as an Individual or as a Team of 2 or 4. When completing as a team, you will split each lap by the number of participants in your team. Due to the updates to the High School track, this year's event will be held at the Middle School West track. Laps 1-3 will take place in the grass inside the track, with lap 4 being held on the track itself.
This year's challenge will also be a competition between two of our sponsors, Bear's Den Fitness and Boyertown YMCA. Choose a gym to represent when you register. You do not need to be a member of the gym in order to represent them at the event. The gym that has the largest number of participants will win this year's Boyertown 1-Mile Challenge and will receive 3 months of advertising on the big screen Boyertown State Theater. We will also be doing a Cup Relay Race at the end of the event. 4 chosen members of each gym will do 1/4 of a lap of each of the 4 fitness movements, relay style. The winning gym will receive their name engraved in our 1-Mile Challenge Cup, display rights for the cup in their gym until next year's challenge, and bragging rights of course!
Individual cost is $25. When registering as a team, each member of the team will pay $25. If you are the first person to register, you will need to create a Team, and then additional team members can join that team when registering. All proceeds will benefit the Wellness Council of Boyertown.
There are no age restrictions.
