NEED MOTIVATION TO MOVE THIS SUMMER?
It’s easier to stay inspired when you join a MOVEment! Join our MOVEment that runs through August 8!
Our weekly goal is to move 150 minutes per week—and remember, all movement counts. Walk, stretch, swim, lift, dance, play… it all adds up! Mark your goal race distance for the Pure Water Days Races on the tracker then log your movement for the weeks leading up to race day. Every week you hit this goal, you will be entered to win cool prizes.
At the end of the challenge, join us at the races to celebrate your commitment to moving all summer long. Join us at the races to celebrate showing up for your body and your health.
Each week, we will be checking in on social media and via email to see if you hit your 150 minutes of movement goal. Everyone who hits the 150 minutes will be entered to win that weeks prizes! You don’t have to attend the Pure Water Days races to complete the challenge, but it’s strongly encouraged.
The MOVE Chippewa Valley Challenge is being offered to everyone for FREE and
