The Greensboro Parks and Recreation Department is encouraging you to start the new year with a focus on your physical health and mental wellness with the 24 for ‘24 Winter Workout Challenge. From January 1-31, you are encouraged to walk, run, bike, or boat 24 miles. Everyone who completes the challenge will be entered into a drawing for a Parks and Recreation prize package. Sign up online.
“All kind of movement – be it a leisurely walk or a fast-paced run – is good for our bodies and minds. If we do it outdoors or with friends, we get even more benefits. So let’s make 2024 the kind of year where we put our physical and mental health first. All you have to do is take the first step,” said Jennifer Hance, Parks and Recreation engagement and outreach coordinator.
Participants will get tips emailed to them through the month. Track your miles and submit by February 4 to gsoparksandrec@greensboro-nc.gov to be entered into the drawings.
