Batesville Parks and Recreation wrapped up it’s first of many month-long wellness challenges. A total of 83 participants had taken part of the inaugural program. In this four-week challenge, participants planned their workouts to equal the distance of an Ironman Triathlon – a 2.4-mile swim, a 112-mile bike and a 26.2-mile run throughout the month of November. Batesville Parks and Recreation wanted to offer this program as a way for the community to work towards an obtainable wellness goal and add variety in their exercise routines.
Whether it was on an individual basis or on a relay team with a spouse, friend, or a family member. Of the 83 participants, the total distance figured to complete the challenge would be 9,420.2. The total distance between all participants was 11,600+ miles with 76 completing their assigned miles individually or through a relay team. On Saturday, Batesville Parks and Recreation hosted the “The Last Mile” event at the Batesville Community Center to run the final mile together. Then participants along with family, friends, and parks staff celebrated a great month with treats and awards.
