MOVE The Distance has been a virtual event since 2020; This year, MOVE is excited to host a hybrid event! We will be hosting an in-person kick-off event and open house on September 10 and to promote accessibility and inclusion, we will have a virtual portion of the event from September 10-30 to allow every participant to take the time they need to reach their selected distance goal!
Participant's will choose the distance they wish to complete over the three week period. Participant's will run, walk, cycle, roll, or row either an 8km, a half marathon (21.1km), or a full marathon (42.2km). Additionally, participants are welcome to join forces with others in order to complete their chosen distance as a relay. Track your distance and keep an eye on your peers distance travelled all through this website!
Get excited with the first ever in-person event portion of MOVE The Distance at MOVE Adapted Fitness on Sunday, September 10 from 10am-3pm! Come check out our facility, eat yummy food, listen to live music, connect with community vendors and resources, and finally, if you'd like to, you can participate in a kick-off 2.5km fun 'race' to get a head start on your distance goal.
What to expect at the Kick-Off Event:
- Kick-off the day by getting a head start on your distance goal! Our staff and volunteers will be there to support participants in a 2.5km fun race/ride around Topaz Park. (This is an optional portion of the kick-off, we encourage everyone to listen to their bodies if this is sustainable for them)
