HealthCode and Austin Parks & Recreation Invite Area Residents to Join September’s Fall into Action Virtual Activity Challenge

HealthCode and the Austin Parks and Recreation Department are calling on all Austinites to step out and take action! Join the virtual activity challenge Fall into Action in September, stay active and explore the city’s green spaces. Walk, run, cycle and paddle as you explore the City’s diverse parks system throughout the month. 

The goal of the Fall into Action virtual challenge is to engage individuals in setting physical activity goals and create new habits to support a healthy lifestyle. Participants can join as an individual or as an organization. Organizations can register at Healthcode.org/Organizations. 

Participating in the Fall into Action activity challenge is simple. Participants can sign up on the Fall into Action registration page at HealthCode.org/FallIntoAction2021 and set a goal for the number of miles of activity to be achieved. Throughout the month activity is logged on HealthCode’s fitness tracker and the program’s public leaderboard is updated with miles achieved, including running, walking, cycling, swimming or yoga. 

“With students returning to classes in the fall and many employees returning to offices, we are encouraging our community to remain physically active and safely socially connected while encouraging everyone to celebrate our gorgeous city parks,’’ said Steve Amos, CEO and founder of the Austin-based nonprofit HealthCode. “The Fall into Action virtual activity challenge is a fun way to raise awareness of the benefits of a lifestyle focused on good physical and mental health and encourage everyone to learn and play in Austin’s diverse park system.’’ 

Registrants who log at least one mile will be eligible for more than $3000 in prize drawings, including an organic mattress from Naturepedic. HealthCode is committed to raising awareness on living healthier, happier lives through physical activity, nutrition and supporting the environment. Since launching its first virtual activity challenge with Million Mile Month in 2014, HealthCode has developed a series of virtual activity and educational programs to promote healthy living. 

Throughout the year, HealthCode offers goal-based challenges with more than 50,000 participants and organizations across all 50 U.S. states and in 30 other countries. More information on events can be found on the HealthCode Events Page.
