Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

Up for a walking challenge? The Tri-Cities Walking Challenge is held locally in Elizabethton each Tuesday from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. Led by Jeannie Statzer, the walk is around downtown and the Tweetsie Trail.

Hosted by the Goose Chase, the goal of the walking challenge is to simply get the community moving with the easiest form of exercise – walking. The challenge is for you and at least three other friends to walk together to meet the goal of walking 2,024 miles within the next six months.

The goal is that through the walking program, each person participating can find help and encouragement from the Walking Challenge and from others.

To participate in the program meet outside the Elizabethton/Carter County Library on Tuesday at 5:30 p.m.
