LMH Trailblazers Announce October Walking Challenge

[September 06, 2023] 

Lincoln Memorial Hospital will host a walking challenge for the month of October and offer fun incentives to hit the trail.

The LMH Trailblazer walking program kicked off in July 2022 and encourages everyone to incorporate physical activity into their lifestyle.

“We encourage everyone to come out, enjoy the fall colors and cooler temperatures and walk the trail,” said Molly McCain, LMH Community Health specialist. “We’ll have a grand prize for the participant who walks the most laps, and everyone who completes 25 laps around the trail’s pond during the month of October will earn a T-shirt.”

Participants can register for the Walking Challenge at 2023 Trailblazer Lap Challenge Registration (google.com). Walkers will log their laps using an online form.

The Lincoln Memorial Hospital Wellness Trail sits on the hospital’s campus, 200 Stahlhut Drive, Lincoln. The trail surface is smooth, paved concrete and 8 feet wide. Generally considered an easy trail, three laps around the pond equals one mile.

Gifted to the community in 2017 by the Lincoln Memorial Foundation, the trail can be used for walking, running or biking and is open from dawn to dusk and pets are welcome. Use of the trail is weather permitting.

For additional information about the challenge, contact Molly McCain at 217-605-5014 or [e-mail].
