Grateful Heart Gratitude Challenge
How It All Works!
A virtual challenge/race allows you to pick your path and get your miles in on your own time! You can log miles in your own city, on roads, trails around your neighborhood or even on a treadmill.
For the whole month of November, the goal is simple, but will challenge you! Walk, run or hike ANYWHERE to complete 50 miles by November 30! That averages out to 1.67 miles per day. And who knows, you might even go past 50 miles. If you do, make sure you log them so we can cheer you on!
Each day of this 30-day virtual challenge comes with a scripture to focus on as well as "thankful prompts" designed to help you cultivate the power of gratitude. You will also be able to join our participant Facebook group where you can share photos and those special moments of thankfulness as you log your miles. All this info is sent out in your welcome e-mail when you register!
