💚 The Chippewa Valley is getting ready to MOVE—together! 💚

Communities across the Chippewa Valley are gearing up for the MOVE Chippewa Valley Challenge, a 12‑week movement journey focused on connection, consistency, and community. The goal is simple and powerful: move 150 minutes each week for 12 weeks—from May 17 through August 8—as we build healthy habits together this summer.

Whether it’s walking, biking, stretching, strength training, or anything that gets you moving, this challenge is for everyone. Every minute counts, and no matter where you’re starting, our goal is to cross the finish line together.

🎉 We’ll celebrate the end of the challenge at the YMCA Pure Water Day Races on August 8 at the Chippewa Falls YMCA—our community finish line and a perfect way to wrap up the summer of movement. Run, Walk, Volunteer, Cheer! (You do not need to attend the races to complete the challenge)

👉 Registration is open now, so don’t wait to sign up: www.ymca-cv.org/movechipvalley
👇 Tag your accountability buddy in the comments—a friend, family member, coworker, or neighbor—and invite them to move with you this summer so no one misses out.

Let’s show what’s possible when the whole Chippewa Valley MOVES together. 💪🌞
