Please join us for the 5th annual Hour Generation Foundation (HGF) Virtual Walk for Wellness Journey, May 1 – May 31. This is an opportunity to move for something that matters–whether it’s for mental health, physical wellness, self- love, or in memory of a loved one. May is mental health awareness month. We are challenging you to walk or run 25 miles or 52,800 steps in one month. This will require spending more time being intentional about you. This is a challenge, so once you pass those 25 miles, you will be pushed by your teammates and coworkers to keep moving. You can reset your goal at any time. Last year’s winner walked 353 miles!
Wellness is defined as the act of practicing healthy habits on a daily basis to attain better physical and mental health outcomes, so that instead of surviving you are thriving. There are four dimensions of wellness; Spiritual, Emotional, Physical, and Social. This challenge allows all four of these dimensions.
As you participate in this virtual walk/run, you can choose your own course to walk, run, and/or bike, in your community. You can also create your own custom fundraising page and share your personal link on social media! Participants will earn additional points throughout the 30 days for logging in their daily wellness activities. Watch yourself, your team and all participants move on our map and leaderboards towards our collective goals. Cheer on your fellow racers!! Brag about your streaks or longest runs!
