This year Cardio Trek is going longer and adding in activities from the Fall fun runs and HFF.

If you are not wanting to use the Strava app that is ok. We will have a forms sheet for you to put in your activities for each day.

We will be tracking participants frequency, distance, and time.

Fall Run Series

The bp fitness will have 3 Holiday Fall Runs starting with The Zombie Run/Walk on Halloween Thursday October 31st with 2 times at 7:00am and 11:30am. It will start at Energy Park under the pavilion and run through Terry Hersey Park. There will be a box onsite and also in the fitness centers to collect Halloween candy with supporting Treats for the Troops. Don't worry if you want to wait until after the trick or treaters that night to donate any left over candy, the boxes will be in the fitness centers and in the lobbies for donations.

Then on Thursday November 14th we will have the Turkey Trot at Energy Park with 7:00am and 11:30am times to choose from to walk or run. This run/walk will support can food donations. We will have a box at Energy Park and also in the fitness centers for can food drop off.

The last run/walk in the Fall Run Series is our own Reindeer Run/walk on Thursdays December, 12th with only 1 start time at 11:30am. It is usually a bit chilly and windy to run at 7am. We will have a box at Energy Park and in the fitness centers for toy donations to help the Child Advocacy program to collect toys.

This is a good way to start your day with a run or get with your co-workers for a nice mid day break and get outside for a walk.
