Hooray for summer!! As part of the 365 Mile Challenge, we’re kicking off a mini-challenge called “Kids Moving Miles”  and we’d love to have you join us!

It’s no secret that many kids just aren’t moving enough anymore. Between the lure of screens to a fear of letting them roam more freely, kids are spending more time indoors and less time outdoors moving. While finding a solution is huge and involves a widespread commitment from our society in general, we are doing our part this year to start helping where it matters most – at home!

The “Kids Moving Miles!” challenge is a spur off our wildly successful 365 Mile Challenge, running throughout 2018. It’s a response to parents, but most importantly, KIDS who want in too. And since our larger goal is “families outside and healthy”, we couldn’t ignore that plea AND wanted to reach as many kids as possible.

What it is:

• A mini challenge just for KIDS to go a self-powered mile a day for a week
• A kick-off to summer (and hopefully a boost to get out and moving!)
• Daily emails delivered to families (and then passed on to kids) for encouragement and ideas on how and where to get moving!
• Giveaways just for kids – all signed up kids/families are eligible!
• A FREE digital magazine offered to all participants (this will be sent the first day!)

When:

June 18 – 24, 2018
