Miles for Wellness Challenge 24

Miles for Wellness Challenge 24: Traversing the Western Capitols of the United States ran from Sept. 27 - Nov. 21, 2021 and encouraged state employees to stay active and connect online with teammates while completing a virtual trek to 16 different state capitols. 

The Challenge 24 virtual trail began at the California State Capitol in Sacramento, and traveled across the western part of the United States before finishing up at the Minnesota State Capitol in St. Paul. Along the way, participants made virtual stops in each state, all while promoting a healthy lifestyle and interacting with others.
