Boyertown 1 Mile Challenge
The Boyertown 1 Mile Challenge is the third annual one mile fitness event held on August 22 at the Middle School West track, 380 S Madison St, Boyertown PA 19512. The event is organized by the Wellness Council of Boyertown and all proceeds benefit the council.
The challenge is offered as an individual event or as a team event with teams of 2 or 4. Each participant pays a $25 registration fee. When a team is created, the first registrant creates the team and additional members join that team during registration.
The course consists of four 400 m laps that together equal approximately one mile. Each lap uses a different fitness movement: lap 1 Bear Crawl, lap 2 Burpee Broad Jumps, lap 3 Walking Lunges, and lap 4 Run. Laps 1 through 3 take place on the grass inside the track; lap 4 takes place on the track surface. When competing as a team, each lap is split among team members according to team size.
The event includes a competition between two sponsoring gyms, Bear's Den Fitness and Boyertown YMCA, based on participant numbers, and a Cup Relay Race in which four chosen members from each gym perform one quarter of each movement in relay format. There are no age restrictions. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
