Are you ready for a fun competition to get you walking? Walk This Way is a great way to start getting in shape for summer while having fun! The goals of the Enid Metropolitan Health Planning Committee are to encourage Garfield County citizens to increase their physical activity, promote the new Enid Walking trails as a place to exercise and ultimately reduce our obesity rates.
Participants are encouraged to walk approximately 30 minutes per day for six weeks in order to fulfill the required 1,100 minutes to enter the drawings. Participants must reside in Garfield County to be eligible for prizes. Walking can be done anywhere as long as it is a sustained walking pace. Minutes for Running, Biking, aerobics and swimming can be included.
Walk This Way is a 6-week walking contest to get us moving! Participants are eligible for grand prizes if they walk at least 1100 minutes in the 6-week period. 500 free t-shirts and prize drawings for those who register and show up at the Saturday Kick-Off!
