Summer Solstice to Fall Equinox Fitness Challenge

Melissa Kallett

Escape the Arizona heat by taking a virtual ride along the California coast! Join the summertime Summer Solstice to Fall Equinox Fitness Challenge and fantasize the feeling of a cool breeze on your face as you log miles from San Diego up to San Francisco. Track your progress as you pass through the towns of Oceanside, Long Beach, Santa Barbara, Big Sur and the Napa Valley. In total the journey will take you 700 miles but don’t be discouraged. Completing the challenge isn’t as important as taking the trip. Use the summer to stay in shape and join the camaraderie of others taking the challenge.

Participants in this Fitness Challenge will log their actual cardio miles from June 21 through September 21—Solstice to Equinox—whether on foot, bike or in the pool—and whether on actual pavement or on the Fitness Center cardio equipment. Log sheets will be maintained in the Eagle’s Nest and Tuscany Falls Fitness Centers and a map on the facility bulletin boards will track your progress. A summertime memento will be awarded to all who complete the challenge. Participants in our eighth annual Tour de Creek, which starts July 4, may log their tour miles in this challenge as well.

Make this your summer of fitness.
