Palm Coast’s Parks & Recreation department wants to help residents get out and move more in 2021: The Mayor’s 90/90 Challenge challenges participants to move for the equivalent of one walking-mile per day for the 90 days starting Jan. 4 and ending April 3.
It’s open to all ages and to anyone who lives, works, shops or exercises in Palm Coast, according to a city of Palm Coast news release.
“We can all use some positive reinforcement after a challenging 2020, and this challenge gives everyone the chance to focus on new goals and be committed to leading healthier lifestyles,“ Mayor Milissa Holland said in the news release. “I encourage residents to get active and use this opportunity as motivation to start a fitness routine for a better lifestyle.”
The challenge doesn’t have to involve walking or running, and it doesn’t have to take place outside: Participants can choose their form of exercise and complete it anywhere in Flagler County.
People who want to use the city’s trails can find one at the city’s Trek-It-Out guide at https://www.palmcoastgov.com/trek-it-out, according to the news release.
To log daily miles, go to www.palmcoastconnect.com.
Palm Coast Connect also has a 90-day calendar with a different suggested activity for each day.
You can share your progress on social media using #Mayors9090 and #ConnectToFitness.
All participants will receive a prize, according to the news release.
A kickoff event for the challenge will be hosted by the city’s Parks & Rec department on Monday, Jan. 4.
To participate, meet at the Palm Coast Community Center at noon for a walk down St. Joe Walkway to Linear Park and back. Register for the walk at www.parksandrec.fun.
Holland and a city department director will also hold walks every Wednesday afternoon starting in January, beginning at 4:30 p.m. at Waterfront Park, and the city has invited residents to attend.
The city has asked that all attendees follow the latest Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines.
