Move through the Darkness Challenge

How

Sign up for your chosen amount of miles walking or running, or hours of exercise, and complete them as an individual or as a team. If you sign up as a team, the pledged amount of miles or physical activity hours are completed together and divided up in any increments you choose. Please log only walking/running activity if you choose a Miles event AND only log hours of exercise if you choose a Physical Activity event. You have from December 1, 2023 through January 31, 2024 to complete your goal.

Submit your activities/miles on a daily or weekly basis (learn more here) Multiple activities on the same day are allowed, ie Dec 1, 2023 activities: Entry #1 = 3 Mile run at 6:00 AM, Entry #2 = 2 mile walk at 12:00 PM. Submit all of your miles/activities by midnight on Jan 31, 2024.

Why

Move Through the Darkness is a collaboration between Imagine Zero of Weld County and Windsor Gives to provide you with an opportunity to focus on your mental, emotional, and physical health. Losing daylight, self-care time and healthy habits can lead to a feeling of hopelessness, depression, sleeping too much, low energy and ultimately an increase in suicide rates nationwide.

MTD is a virtual challenge that is going to MOVE you through these times. Grab your family, friends, co-workers, or meet someone new and pick your mileage or number hours of exercise.
