Go Green Leprechaun Run

81K FITNESS CHALLENGE - February 16 to March 16, 2024
2 MILE and 10K LEPRECHAUN RUN - March 16, 2024

Are you ready for a new fitness goal? In the month leading up to our annual Leprechaun Run, we want to offer a fitness challenge to kick-start your 2024 fitness goals and get you in peak shape to Go Green on March 16!

We think 81k is a nice target number. Dyck Arboretum of the Plains was founded in 1981 and Hesston is located on Highway 81. Eighty-one kilometers in 30 days amounts to 2.7 km/day (equal to 1.7 miles/day and 12 miles per week).

Do you want to do more? Set your sights higher and make it 81 miles. Approximately 6,100 walking steps/day would help you meet that challenge. If you can get into 10K running shape by February, running three 10Ks (6.2 miles each) per week would about get you to 81 miles.
Track your progress on our distance leader board to see how others are faring along with you. Plan to READY, SET, GO 81 in the new year - you can do it!
