Pueblo is offering the Pueblo 150 Challenge to people living and working in Pueblo County to get more active exploring Pueblo and Colorado June 1st to August 1st. 

• You pick your own challenge to do over the 9 weeks.  Maybe try to log 150 miles on foot (hiking/walking/running-that is average of 2.4 miles/day), or 150 miles on bike (any bicycle including E bikes that are pedal assist), or 150 miles combined on foot or bike.  For those of you over achievers, maybe 150 miles within 48 hours.  ​We will collect electric scooter and bicycle miles as they take you places your car can't and they minimize wear and tear on the roads. 

• Track your progress with your watch, device, and any app you like.  You will only be asked to prove your miles if you win a big prize and will need to show your app to claim the prize.  This is more about setting a goal, being social sharing your progress on social media or your fitness app to inspire others to go a little farther and reach their own goal. Use #pueblo150 for us to find you and share the spirit with others.

• Make it a team effort, join your worksite and/or a social team to support one another, stay motivated and meet up for rides, walks, hikes, paddles or whatever your challenge. Your group can offer a Strava challenge or motivate one another in your group chats or groups.  Just register By July 15th, track your miles and log them on the link that will be provided below starting July 15th until August 5th.

• We will collect all your outdoor miles to see how far we all go together as we explore Pueblo and Colorado. We will collect miles in the following categories that you can track: walk/hike, running outdoors, pedal bicycle, Ebike pedal assist, paddling (kayak/SUP), elevation gain, other wheels (wheelchair, scooter, one wheel).  We will also collect miles commuted to work, shopping (anytime you replace a drive with a walk or ride).
