WATERFORD — The Erie Canalway National Heritage Corridor is inviting New Yorkers to take part in a special winter fitness challenge.
Participants in the “FEBRUARY 15 Canalway Challenge” pledge to complete 15 miles by walking, running, hiking, snowshoeing, or cross-country skiing during the month of February to earn a 15-Miler badge. Participants can choose to log miles at national, state and local parks, on the Canalway Trail, or even in their own neighborhoods.
Any location within the boundaries of the Erie Canalway National Heritage Corridor counts.
“With the Olympic Games and a focus on physical fitness, we hope the FEBRUARY 15 Challenge will provide an incentive for people to get up, get out, and get active to achieve their own fitness goals,” said Executive Director Bob Radliff of the Erie Canalway National Heritage Corridor in a news release. “Getting out this winter is an excellent way to explore the Canalway Corridor’s seasonal beauty and start a fitness habit that can last all year.”
The Corridor encompasses 23 counties and spans 524 miles across the full expanse of Upstate New York. It includes the Erie, Cayuga-Seneca, Oswego and Champlain canals and their historic alignments.
