Explore Your Parks Adventure presented by FedEx
Calling all FedEx Corporate Challenge runners!
Fall is the perfect time to get outside and explore The Allegheny County Parks! This October, we’re challenging you to complete a 3-mile run, walk, hike or jog in each of the 9 beautiful Allegheny County Parks. This corporate wellness challenge is self-guided, which means each participant has the freedom to complete their challenge on their own schedule, within the hours of the Allegheny County Parks. All participants will receive an exclusive Explore Your Parks 16oz Camper Mug, and all participants that complete the challenge in all 9 parks will receive a white MIIR water bottle with an “Explore Your Parks” sticker. The Explore Your Parks Adventure Challenge will take place throughout the entire month of October fromThursday, 10/1/20 through Saturday, 10/31/20. 50% of net proceeds of the Challenge will go towards planting new trees in Allegheny County Parks, in partnership with the Allegheny County Parks Foundation Tree Fund and FedEx. For every runner that participates in the Explore Your Parks Challenge, one tree will be planted in the Allegheny County Parks, in partnership with the Allegheny County Parks Foundation Tree Fund.
