The YONKERS WALK 20 Challenge consists of three combined walk challenge phases through Oct. 31. Everyone who resides, works or walks in Yonkers can have some fun and take part. The YOM initiative is intergenerational, free, and individuals and organizations can participate to foster health and active lifestyle goals.
It’s an opportunity for friends, families, neighbors, church groups, small business and work colleagues to participate as individuals, and also form teams that can contribute their miles to pass a city-wide walk goal of 30,000 miles or more this year.
YOM recently held its phase one recognition event providing an opportunity to recognize some of the 71 participants so far in this year’s WALK 20 Challenge. As of May 31, participants have reported almost 10.000 miles, or one-third of the season-ending 30,000 goal. YOM is currently in Phase Two, which encourages local neighborhood walks and teams, and submission of steps and miles through Aug. 31. WALK 20 Challenge participants should be prepared to submit their steps/miles online by Sept 7.
