Our very first Adventure kicks off Friday, June 12, and ends on Thursday, June 25! A huge thank you to Green.Money for helping us make our first Adventure possible!
Our 7-part Adventure series is designed to inspire you- getting you out of the house to explore new paths, to recruit new 2-Day Walkers, and to raise even more money to fight breast cancer in Georgia!
For our first Adventure, we are challenging you to:
– Get back into 2-Day training mode! We want you to walk 20 miles between June 12- June 25! You can log your miles and share training tips, locations, etc. in our ITJ Staff Challenge Community on Fitbit (details on how to join below- you do NOT need a Fitbit to participate)! Take a picture while out training, email it to wjones@2daywalk.org, and you could be featured on our Instagram page!
Here’s how you can join us on the ITJ Staff Challenge Community on the Fitbit App:
– On the Fitbit app, open the “Community” tab
– Hit the “Add Friend” image (a plus sign with person symbol)
– Search username “WhitneyPack” or “JonMcMurdo” and add friend
– We will add you to the challenge!
Even if you don’t have a Fitbit, the app can work with other trackers or with your smartphone! Simply download the Fitbit app to your phone, and authorize the app to read your health statistics (just hit “accept” on everything when they ask for authorization).
– Help us recruit 100 rookies by July 10! This is a big challenge so it will be ongoing through our first 2 Adventures. We have recruited 33 rookies since Kick Off, so we’re a 1/3 of the way to our goal with one month to go!
CONTEST: If you recruit a rookie between now and the end of this first Adventure on June 25th, both you AND your rookie will be entered to win new Fitbits! Your rookie must list you as their reference in the “How did you hear about us” section of their 2-Day registration form. Every rookie you recruit is another entry into the contest! The winners will be announced live at 6:00 pm during our next Pink Drink Social Club on June 25th! Spread the word and get recruiting!

– Help us catch back up on fundraising. In order to get back on track, we need our 2-Day fundraising thermometer to reach $300,000 by July 10. This is a big task as we are currently at $136,895. But we can do it with your help! If all of our participants aim to raise $50/week for the next four weeks, we will blow our goal out of the water!
– Check out our Inspiration Locations for our Adventures! Our first Inspiration Location is Yellow River Park! Located near Stone Mountain, this forested riverside park is the perfect place to get your steps in! The park features a 1 mile, multi-use paved surface trail, plus a 12 mile soft surface trail that’s great for both mountain biking and hiking. A great feature of this park is that they offer separate bike trails, pedestrian trails, equestrian trails, and mixed use trails. The soft surface trail has an easy 3.2 mile out and back route that is fairly level, and perfect for walkers of all fitness levels. Just hike the riverside trail out and back. See details here. There are restrooms and picnic pavilions on site, so make a day of it!
