Join the CommonHealth Virtual Turkey Trot Challenge!

CommonHealth invites you to join the virtual Turkey Trot Challenge! As the seasons change and many of us find ourselves spending more time indoors, it’s important that we continue to take time to keep moving. Staying active plays a major role in our overall health and wellbeing. That’s why CommonHealth is excited to invite you to register and join our Turkey Trot Challenge! This challenge is open to all employees at all fitness levels.

Here’s how it works: for the month of November, we challenge you to move daily for at least 20 minutes. Employees that register here will receive an official activity calendar to help track their progress. Movement activities can include anything from going for a walk, doing seated exercises or even dancing around your living room. The goal is to get your body moving and your heart pumping for at least 25 out of the 30 days in November.

Employees who complete the challenge and submit the survey at the end will receive a printable certificate and be entered into a prize drawing. During the challenge, to keep registrants motivated and on track, we’ll be sending out weekly emails with information on the mental health benefits of moving regularly, as well as tips to help you stay active and reach your goals. Remember, the most important thing is to have fun and enjoy the process. Let’s support each other and make November a month of movement!

If you have any questions, please reach out to the CommonHealth team at wellness@dhrm.virginia.gov.
