TOPS 365 Wellness Challenge

Join the WALK THIS MAY Challenge! Complete 31 Miles in 31 Days and Win a Prize!

Spring is officially here (we hope)! The weather is getting warmer, the days are getting longer, so let’s celebrate the joys, benefits, and health effects of walking!

This program is FREE to the community. Download the log sheet HERE.

To be eligible for the prize, all participants must be registered. Register online at olander.recdesk.com or email programs@olanderpark.com.

Participants can earn miles by walking, running, biking, rollerskating, etc. While we would love for you to earn your miles at TOPS parks, miles can be earned at your local park or around your neighborhood. We just want to encourage you to move more!

Having fun with this month’s challenge? Think about joining the TOPS 365 Wellness Challenge and count these miles towards your goal.

Monthly walks and health-themed giveaways will help you stay focused and meet your wellness goals throughout the year. Stay tuned for the scheduled dates. Please note:  Group walks have been suspended until further notice due to the ongoing Covid-19 crisis. 

The TOPS Challenge is designed for miles completed at TOPS parks, however, if you walk, run, bike, rollerblade, and/or kayak at the Metroparks, your neighborhood, a treadmill, or any other location other than TOPS parks, estimate your mileage as close as possible and record it on your log.
