Move through the Darkness Challenge

When: December 1, 2023 - January 31, 2024

What: Virtual Challenge to complete a set number of miles through walking or running, or a set number of hours of exercise (biking, yoga, etc)

Why: Move Through the Darkness is a collaboration between Imagine Zero of Weld County and Windsor Gives to provide you with an opportunity to focus on your mental, emotional, and physical health. Losing daylight, self-care time and healthy habits can lead to a feeling of hopelessness, depression, sleeping too much, low energy and ultimately an increase in suicide rates nationwide.

How: This challenge is completely free and open to anyone world-wide. Sign up and complete the challenge as individual and/or team. For teams, the distance or time you choose is the collective amount of miles or time broken up as you choose. If you sign up to run/walk, all of your miles must be completed by running and/or walking. If you sign up for Hours of Activity, you can complete your hours with any combination of activities.

Distances: 100 Mile, 250 Mile, or 400 Mile Challenges - done individually or as a group of 2-6.

Hours of Activity: You can complete 25, 45, or 65 hours of activities outside of your normal daily routine. For groups of 2-6, the hours are 150, 270 or 390 total. For example yoga, pickle ball, bike riding, exercise classes, are just a few examples. Once you complete your activity, log the time that activity took and in the comments what the activity was.

Donate and/or fundraise as individual or team for your 2023/24 MTD challenge. All donations/fundraising efforts from the MTD Challenge go to Imagine Zero of Weld County to provide suicide education, awareness and to reduce the stigma surrounding suicide, and to Windsor Gives, a 501(c)3, to produce the finisher beanies.
