Our Let’s Move Blair County Committee, Blair Planning, and Corporate Partners are conducting an Active Living Challenge for teams, schools, community groups, workplaces, faith-based organizations, WalkWorks communities, and/or individuals. 

It’s fun, easy, and free to sign up and participate.  In the last County Health Rankings Report, Blair County was ranked 44 out of 67 counties for being unhealthy. So let’s help our families, friends, and neighbors get healthy by joining our Active Living Challenge. The Challenge will run from September 15 – October 26, 2024.  There will be four categories based on the size of companies/organizations: (small: 2-20 people, medium: 21-50 people, large: 51 – 100, and extra-large 101 and over). This is the size of your company/organization not necessarily how many are on your team as that may be unknown at the start of the challenge..

The idea is that someone from your school, community group, workplace, faith-based organization, or family logs onto our website and signs up your group.  After that, individuals signing up will check the drop down for the name of their company/organizations and add their name to that team. You can also sign up as an individual by joining the  Healthy Blair County Coalition Team. It’s easy all you have to do is log on and add the date, activity, and minutes each day (or you can go back and add at a later time). Team rankings will be available in real time.

We’re tracking active and/or fitness minutes. That means all types of activities count, including walking your dog, yoga,, ice skating, swimming, tennis/pickleball, gardening, etc. At the end of this challenge, we will acknowledge and present an awesome trophy to the top teams with the most active living minutes as leaders in helping to build a healthier Blair County.
