2008 Tribal Leaders Fun Run/Walk - Wellness: It's a Matter of Community

"Wellness: It’s a Matter of Community" was the theme of 2008 the California Tribal Leaders Consultation Conference. The annual Fun Run/Walk supported this team and the importance of physical activity, on March 19. This annual event was a huge success thanks to the Northern Valley Indian Health, Outreach team! The event helped launch the third annual Just Move It California Challenge, that will continue throughout the year. 

Best Features - Over forty participants, including leadership and youth participated in the event and earned a Just Move It California Challenge t-shirt.

Future Plans - This event kicks off the challenge throughout the state, it can be implemented as a virtual walk covering the 4,581 miles or 9,192,000 steps, or be incorporated into established activities supporting community physical activity. Last year over 21 T/U programs participated in this challenge, hosting events and posting stories to jmi.org.
