Moonlight Elementary’s Fourth Annual 24-Hour Challenge Gets Community Moving
A physical education teacher at Moonlight Elementary in Gardner, Kansas recently challenged students, parents and staff to live a healthier, more active lifestyle in a 48 day period. The end of the challenge was capped off with a 24-hour walk/run tracked by our vívofit!
In his Fourth Annual 24-Hour Challenge, Kyle Amos gave students an activity log to take home and use to track at least 24 hours of physical fitness in 48 days (an average of 30 minutes a day). If his students were successful in the challenge, Kyle promised to walk/run for 24 hours straight.
The goals of his 24-hour challenge included:
- Becoming more physically active;
- Increasing consistent daily physical activity;
- Setting a goal and reaching that goal;
- Trying new fitness activities at home;
- Developing healthy eating habits for a lifetime; and
- Having fun!
Once the students successfully completed their part, which totaled more than 7,000 hours of fitness activities logged, it was time for Kyle to hold up his end of the bargain! On Thursday, April 17 at 9 a.m. he began his run to inspire lifelong habits of exercise and nutrition. He ran around the school’s playground and throughout the school day students were encouraged to join him.
While running Kyle wore a vívofit to count his steps. When the challenge concluded at 9 a.m. the next day, he had walked/run 103 miles and taken 184,324 steps. In addition to his miles all of the students ran a combined 819 miles during the school day, and staff and families logged 156 miles throughout the evening – totaling 1,078 miles completed by all those involved!
