REGION 6 OTTAWA

The goal for 2026 is to once again to walk, run, bicycle, row, swim, kayak, canoe, etc., 40,075 kilometres (km), the circumference world. Sound crazy, Region 6 members did it before.  In fact, in December 2023 the final tally was 41,350.

 

Now that everyone has had a 2-year rest we decided to try again.  The Fitness Challenge was the brainchild of R6 member Teresa Holmes who wanted people to get active during the early years of the pandemic.

 

How Does It Work

​

Members wishing to participate are asked to forward their name and email address to Teresa Holmes at IPAR6FitChallenge2026@outlook.com. 

 

Teresa Holmes, who came back to run this program, will send out totals to participating members, near the end of each month.

 

The Fitness Challenge is not restricted to just members; family members may join also. To meet our goal by Dec 2026 we need all the help we can get.

 

At the end of each month, members are asked to record and total the number of miles or kilometers they completed during the month and then to send the total, by email, to  IPAR6FitChallenge2026@outlook.com. 

 

Ready, Set, Go IPA Team!
