Miles for Wellness Challenge 23

Miles for Wellness Challenge 23: Traversing the Southern Capitols of the United States ran from March 15 - May 9, 2021 and encouraged state employees to stay active and connect online with teammates while completing a virtual trek to 16 state capitols. 

The Challenge 23 virtual trail began at the North Carolina State Capitol and traveled across the southern United States before finishing up back home in North Carolina at the State Legislative Building. Along the way, participants made virtual stops in locations from Virginia to Arizona, all while promoting a healthy lifestyle and interacting with others.
