IPA Region 6 Activity Challenge

                                                                                                          October 2023

 

Well it finally happened… Snow arrived throughout Region 6, albeit very briefly… a tease for what is to come. We almost made it through October. On 30 October, it snowed very briefly, the earliest snowfall since 2020. That did not deter the team in accumulating their kilometers. All continue to break records and Region 6 only has 4,860kms left to circumnavigate the globe! An amazing feat! We are generally surpassing 2,000 kms each month. Wouldn’t it be incredible to finish the Activity Challenge by the end of December 2023?! The projection was February – March 2024. Can we do it? We most certainly can… IF… we get just a few more participants to help pull this off. We only need 4,860kms! If you are not already participating, please join us. Just two more months. Any distance counts. We will take a little or a lot. Let’s show our strength and team spirit and help us wrap this up. For any new participants, please email the Region 6, Activity Coordinator, Teresa Holmes at ipar6challenge@gmail.com

Your spouse/partner/children can also participate. Region 6 challenges you to get up and add to our achievement. You can walk, hike, run, swim, outdoors or indoors. Even mow your lawn. We will take all recorded distances.

 

Bill Murrell is our continued record breaker, busting through the 7,000km mark!!! Bill’s total in 13 months is 7, 398kms! That is absolutely incredible, more so for one of our retired members. No other is close to Bill’s feat! Congratulations Bill and don’t stop! Two more months!!!

 

Three Region 6 members pushed through the 3,000km mark: Andy Bakker, in 2nd place with a total of 3,451 kms; Teresa Holmes with 3,189 kms, in 3rd place and JP Vincelette with 3,162. Jonathan Cheung and Doug Morris broke the 2,000km; and June Reggler and Brian Sullivan are  sooooo close to breaking the 3,000km mark. Congratulations to every single participant! What an incredible distance in just 13 months.

 

All members are doing an outstanding job and we so appreciate your dedication and determination. We are so close to the finish. Let’s keep going and with a bit more push we will have accomplished a first for IPA National and perhaps International. 40,075kms! Just a number now.
