“Get Your Tail on the Trail” challenge begins with a new phone app

Posted

As participants begin the 165-Mile Challenge this year, they’ll have a new app for the “Get Your Tail on the Trail” program, offered by St. Luke’s University Health Network and the Delaware & Lehigh National Heritage Corridor (D&L).

This free community initiative encourages people of all ages and abilities to meet their personal fitness goals.

Through Nov. 8, the 165-Mile Challenge encourages participants to log 165 miles of exercise, such as walking, hiking, running, biking or paddling on the D& L trails or anywhere they choose.
Logging miles and staying motivated has never been easier with the new app:

– Get exclusive content about nutrition, events and upcoming challenges

– Earn badges for your achievements based on your activity log

– Stay engaged all year round in activities and challenges

– Keep informed about your chapter and any organizations you are a member of

– Experience virtual tours of different parts of the trail

– Receive prizes

“Get Your Tail on the Trail” participants register for free as an individual or as part of an organization and log the miles doing a continuous activity for 10 minutes or more. While the program doesn’t require participants to exercise exclusively on the 165-mile D&L Trail, it is a great centerpiece resource. The trail stretches from Wilkes-Barre to Bristol.

In addition to the 165-Mile Challenge that runs each May to November, there are special events throughout the year, including bike and hike outings, health fairs, history walks and more.
