WOMAN Challenge: Women and girls Out Moving Across the Nation
Would you like to stay active all year long?
Join the WOMAN Activity Tracker!
19,406 people and 1,263 teams participated in the 2008 WOMAN Challenge!
Here is what others have said about the
WOMAN Challenge!

"My 21-year-old daughter is the one that inspired me to get moving! I am so thankful that she cared enough to ask me to start exercising and to take the time to exercise with me. I chose the Pacific Coast Route since I have another daughter living in Yorba Linda, CA. I imagined visiting with her as we passed through. A bonus was starting the route in Alaska, since I have a dear friend who recently relocated to Anchorage! I am so thankful for family, friends, and for life itself!"
