The Nebraska150 Challenge

The Nebraska150 Challenge is an online fitness program that strives to make fitness fun by motivating and assisting Nebraskans to reach the goal of moving 150 miles or more in 2017.

Through an interactive website, www.ne150challenge.com, individuals and groups will register and document miles for walking, running, biking, swimming, kayaking, skateboarding, jump roping, or any type of exercise.  An online physical activity converter helps participants easily turn action into miles.  Participants will track their progress and earn virtual badges for at certain milestones.

The website features a social media feed; healthy living tips; links to the state’s hiking, biking, and kayaking trails; and information about marathons, walks, runs, and other organized amateur sporting events throughout the state.  The challenge is designed for every age and level of fitness.

The Nebraska150 Challenge is a partnership with the Nebraska Sports Council.

Nebraska Sports Council Executive Director Dave Mlnarik said, “The Nebraska Sports Council is proud to promote and provide staff support for the NE150 Challenge, which fits perfectly within our mission of encouraging healthy and active lifestyle choices.  We look forward to helping individuals, families, companies, colleges, K-12 classrooms, social groups, and others learn about and benefit from the Challenge.”
