Reach the Peak Challenge

September 1 – 30

Begin your journey to conquer Mount Denali, ascending its 20,000-foot peak by accumulating 150 minutes of exercise each week. For every 150 minutes completed, you gain an elevation of 5,000 feet. Remember to track your exercise minutes at the Fitness Desk, and as you reach each 5,000-foot milestone, you will ascend to a new camp on the mountain.

Activities to reach 150 minutes each week:

1. On-site Fitness Activities: Check in at the center and enjoy group fitness classes, working out at your own pace on the fitness floor, and more.
2. Outdoor Activities: Connect with nature while progressing toward your exercise goal with outdoor activities like walking, running, cycling, or hiking.

Remember, every minute matters in achieving your 150-minute weekly goal!
