Taylorville Memorial Health is looking to inspire people to take up healthy exercise habits.  The healthcare provider has created the Stride to Thrive challenge, a walking challenge which runs the month of May. 

Those who want to participate can walk their own preferred routes if desired.  They can also use the track at the Christian County YMCA – which is available even to non-members this May – and the Taylorville High School track when students are not using it.  Participants who reach 75, 125, 175, or 225 miles can earn a special club-level T-shirt.

Participants can use the free Pacer app to log their cumulative distance as part of this initiative.  Registration is at www.mypacer.com/organizations/tmhwalkingchallenges/invite.
