In-PersonJoin the Grayson County Extension Service and the Owensboro Health Community Health Committee for the second annual FitTober walking program, October 1 – October 30! Movement and physical activity are important for all of us, but it’s hard to be motivated to do it.

Event Description
Join the Grayson County Extension Service and the Owensboro Health Community Health Committee for the second annual FitTober walking program, October 1 – October 30! It could not be any easier to participate!
Here’s all you need to do:
1. Register by visiting https://uky.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_4SYrg48l0T8ETs2 or by calling the Extension Office at (270) 259-3492.
2. On October 1st, begin tracking your steps. You can use a pedometer, a watch, your phone, an app - anything that will track your steps.
3. Record your daily steps using a system that works for you - write them on a post it note, in a notebook, on a tracker, in your calendar, use an app - literally whatever fits your needs!
4. Come to the Drive Through Steps Drop at the James D. Bevel City Park (time TBD) on October 30th, hand us your total number of steps for the month, get some goodies for participating, and be on your way. You don’t even have to step foot outside of your car!
The first 50 participants with more than 210,000 steps (that’s just 7,000 steps per day!) for the month will receive a free t-shirt. Everyone will receive a free gift for participating (even your four-legged friends that might walk with you!). We are using the honors system for steps reporting. Whether you get 1000 or 10,000 steps a day, they all count!
FitTober is for everyone! Movement and physical activity are important for all of us, but it’s hard to be motivated to do it. Once we can start seeing or feeling the benefits of physical activity, it becomes a little easier to keep it up. We will be with you every step of the way. I hope you will join us as we live, work, and move TOGETHER!
Registration will remain open through October 4th.
