A new initiative aims to nudge Alabamians to climb out of their easy chairs and head outdoors to “walk, run, hike, bike, swim, paddle, ride or roll” 100 miles by the end of the year while enjoying the state’s extraordinary scenery.
The 100 Alabama Miles Challenge kicks off 9 a.m. Saturday (May 12) at Railroad Park in Birmingham, with coordinated events in Camden, Clanton, Cullman, Jasper, Red Bay and Chewacla State Park in Auburn. Anniston, Greenville and Jasper are planning similar events soon.
“The 100 Alabama Miles Challenge is a great way to get outside, enjoy the company of friends and family and see our beautiful state,” U.S. Army veteran, extreme race competitor, and “Dancing with the Stars” hoofer Noah Galloway said in a news release announcing the challenge. Now a motivational speaker, the Birmingham native will serve as celebrity spokesman for the challenge.
