- Walking Lake Pepin 2024 Walking....It's Good for the Soul
Started in 2008 as a wellness project by Lake City resident Patty Svien, "Walking Lake Pepin" continues in its 17th year in 2024.
The Walking Lake Pepin fitness challenge invites children, adults, teens, families and seniors in the Lake City area
to participate by starting, continuing or increasing their physical activity.
All are invited to sign up and make a commitment, count your minutes and celebrate your success of reaching your goal
of walking or other physical activity for 150 minutes a week.
Again, this year the Walking Lake Pepin committee continues to make this year's event more inclusive allowing all forms of moderate physical activity to be counted for minutes toward your goal. So whether you like to walk, bike, jog, swim laps, use the treadmill at the gym or love water aerobics, you can choose a variety of activities to count for minutes to reach your goal. The only requirement is that the activity raises your heart rate and is of at least 10 minutes in duration. So if you are gardening or doing some yard or housework it counts, if it meets these requirements.
This year’s event slogan is in "Walking...It's Good for the Soul" with emphasize on physical activity and mental health.
In addition to the traditional 150 minute weekly challenge a second challenge will be continued from 2023
Participants can sign up to walk a 150 miles over the 10 weeks of the event.
This is approximately 2 miles a day and can be logged just like minutes of exercise on the log sheet.
Lake City residents can sign up (online, at Treats and Treasures on Washington St. or Anytime Fitness on 7th St) to achieve a healthier lifestyle by committing to any of the moderate physical activities listed for a minimum of 150 minutes a week OR the 150 miles challenge over a 10 week period. A log sheet to record minutes can be downloaded from this site or picked up at Treats and Treasures or Anytime Fitness.
As in the past walkers can qualify for entry into drawings for Lake City Chamber Bucks by participation in the weekly group walks and by
turning in their log sheets at the finale event.
This year’s event will start Sunday, June 2 and continue until Saturday, August 10.
Weekly group walking events will occur on Wednesday evenings at 6:30 pm.
These events will take you walking around the Lake City area and help you to meet other walkers.
A list of the weekly walking locations can be downloaded from this website or picked up at Treats and Treasures or Anytime Fitness.
The event is free. All fitness levels can participate. You pick the amount of minutes you want to challenge yourself to each week. It is that simple. Make the healthy decision and click “Sign up” from the menu bar above.
