How Do I Participate?

Select a safe route in your neighborhood, through parks, on off-road trails or even on a treadmill. Complete the distance, upload your results and share your accomplishments on social media – help us to show the commitment that ACSM members, certified professionals and friends have to safe and fun physical activity!
