Fit Families Fitness Challenge information and Registration
2009

Fit Families is a team challenge to get healthier together. Beginning April 1st, community members are invited to form teams that will log their “exercise miles” for the next 8 weeks—until May 22nd, striving to log enough “exercise miles” to get from Burnsville to Wrightsville Beach (400 miles away).

Fill out the registration form. We will send you a team captain packet to get started. Forms are also available at www.healthyancey.org. Log your daily “exercise miles” from April 1—May 22. You can set your own pace and choose activities you enjoy. You will be provided an exercise log in your team packet.

One (1) activity mile equals either: * Walking, running, or biking for one mile
20 minutes of any exercise where you “breathe hard” *
2,000 steps on a pedometer (if you have one)

Join us for a participant celebration/health fair on Tuesday, April 21st from 5:-00-7:00 PM at the Burnsville Gym on School Circle. Door prizes, healthy snacks and fitness information will be available.

We’ll also host two community walks—May 6th Historic Walking Tour (meet at Town Square at 6 PM) and May 19th Tour of Whitt Bottom Recreational Grounds (meet at the grounds at 6 PM).

The grand prize drawing will be held on Saturday, June 6th at Ray Cort Park. We’ll be having a clean up day from 1:00-5:00 PM and all Fit Family participants are invited to attend. Free BBQ, entertainment and access to the pool will be provided from 5:00-7:00 PM for all volunteers that help with the clean up.
