Alabama News Center — 5 ways to trek 100 Alabama Miles this year

By: Alex House

Springtime is the perfect occasion to kickstart a healthy lifestyle by going outdoors, and the 100 Alabama Miles Challenge encourages all Alabamians to do just that.

“We challenge everyone to walk, run, hike, bike, swim, paddle, ride or roll 100 miles each year,” said Brian Rushing, director of economic development for the University of Alabama Center for Economic Development (UACED), which manages the program. “And Alabama has no shortage of beautiful places to explore.”

The challenge officially started April 27. Challenge participants can sign up online for this free program and connect to their wearable devices or mobile phone app through Strava to track miles.
