September’s Employee Wellness Activities
Fall Step Challenge
What better way to bring in the fall season then taking a brisk walk in a park, downtown or around your block.
What is the best thing you can do for yourself in September – start walking and enjoy your surroundings. Join our fall step challenge and get yourself prepared for our spooky, Ghost and Goblins Fun Run event held on Thursday, October 26, 2023.
Our walking event begins Monday, September 11 and ends on Sunday, October 22, 2023.
Tips to help you enjoy your walk:
- Walk with a friend or group.
- Give yourself a fitness challenge.
- Identify items in nature. Leaves, insects or animals.
- Play a game.
- Geocaching – an outdoor treasure hunting game.
- Listen to music.
- Listen to audio book. Our library has a great selection.
- Don’t walk the same route every time – mix it up.
- Think of walking as an adventure.
Lace up your shoes and register for our 6-week STEP-TEMBER Challenge. You have until Monday, September 25, 2023 to sign up to be part of our latest event.
